In this issue of Seniors Digest, we are so pleased to share photos from The Mural Project! Southeast Seattle Senior Center participants and local youth partnered to create a work of art that reflects the pride of this neighborhood, which was recently recognized as being the most ethnically diverse in the entire nation.

Then, Todd Beller of Substance Abuse Services, Evergreen Hospital shares information about patterns of alcohol use and abuse in older adults. Todd points out that many seniors could benefit from cutting back on alcohol without needing to quit entirely—but it is important to have your drinking evaluated if you check "yes" to some of the "red flags" in the article.

On the other hand, you can never consume enough veggies! And many area seniors are again enjoying delicious, healthy produce through the Aging and Disability Services' Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Learn more in "Produce Power."
