Happy Thursday Coachella Valley Seniors!
There is a certain energy in the air this time of year before the true summer heat settles in. It is the perfect window for outdoor events, and the community is definitely taking advantage of it.

Senior Advocates of the Desert is the Coachella Valley’s only nonprofit dedicated exclusively to helping low-income seniors obtain their government benefits.
Many seniors are entitled to Social Security, Medi-Cal, or VA benefits but find the paperwork insurmountable. Their team provides free, one-on-one assistance to navigate these systems, often resulting in essential healthcare and livable income for our neighbors.
If you are looking for a high-impact way to support local seniors, they rely on grants and donations to keep these life-changing services free for those over 60.
Whether you want to learn a new skill, join a book club, or volunteer to deliver meals, Mizell is the place where community happens.

Reader Pick: Arnold Palmer's Restaurant, La Quinta
A local legend, this spot honors the King of Golf with a sophisticated yet warm atmosphere. Seniors love it for the impeccable service and the "Arnie" memorabilia throughout the restaurant.
What to order: Their steak and fresh seafood are top-tier, but many regulars come for the famous meatloaf. It's a great spot for an early dinner before the sun goes down over the La Quinta hills.
