Senior Resources are

As people age, it can be tricky to navigate the wide
variety of questions and concerns that go hand-inhand with the aging process. Senior citizens and
their loved ones have many resources available to
assist them with day-to-day life all the way from
the national level to right here at home. Naperville
is a community that warmly embraces seniors and
“baby boomers” and wants to help connect them
to information about these available services.
The City of Naperville and Naperville Park District have joined together to provide seniors
with a convenient way to access this information. The City of Naperville recently launched a
comprehensive webpage at www.naperville.il.us/
seniorservices.aspx that provides relevant phone
numbers, webpages and descriptions of services
offered to seniors by category. Where appropriate, the pages guide a visitor to the appropriate
provider of the service, be it the City, township,
county or state. Categories include:
• care options
• education
• elder rights
• emergency
preparedness
• employment
• financial assistance
and taxes
• food assistance
• general information
• health benefits
• household
maintenance assistance
• housing
• legal assistance
• life safety
• recreation
• transportation
• utility assistance
• veterans assistance
• volunteerism
Along with the webpage, the Naperville Park District will have volunteers and staff available to help
seniors navigate the website or provide resource
contact information. For assistance, or if you have
any suggestions or feedback regarding additional
services to be listed on the webpage, please call
(630) 848-3613 or stop by the Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center at 305 W. Jackson Ave.

An electrifying revival of Lillian Hellman’s classic turnof-the-century study of family greed, The Little Foxes
has been praised as “one of the most enjoyably chilling
chapters in the history of melodrama” by The New York
Times. Ben and Oscar Hubbard stand to earn millions
funding an industrialized cotton mill and seek help
with the initial investment from their sister Regina. The
refusal of Regina’s dying husband to finance the scheme
sets off an explosive series of betrayals, shattering Hubbard clan’s genteel facade and exposing their ruthless
pursuit of wealth. Ferocious, funny and enduringly relevant, The Little Foxes is an absorbing chronicle of the
dark side of the American Dream and wealth’s corrupting power. Seats are on the main floor. Price includes
