Greater Lynn Senior Services (GLSS) produces a show monthly that we air on Mondays at 10:30 AM, Wednesdays at 9:00 PM, & Fridays at 5:30 PM on our Public channel (Comcast: 3 / Verizon: 38). A description of December’s show from GLSS, which will be airing soon, is below.
GLSS TV offers some great tips for navigating December — the busiest holiday month of the year. Most cultures and religions have their major holidays this month and with COVID restrictions, they will all be a little different this year. We’ll look at ways caregivers can find relief; and we’ll take a walk on the not-so-wild side of Lynn where we’ll learn about best practices for pedestrian traffic. And finally, Chef Joey will cook a Ribollita soup for us — it features chunks of bread in the soup itself! Can you say comfort food?
