Scammers are getting smarter. Staying informed is one of the best ways to protect yourself.

KESQ News Channel 3 reports that California is now among the states with the highest risk for scams targeting older adults, with criminals increasingly using sophisticated tactics including artificial intelligence.

That makes our upcoming FREE Senior Scam Stopper Seminar with Assemblymember Greg Wallis especially timely.

📅 Friday, October 2
⏰ 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.
📍 Mizell Center

Hear directly from state experts about common scams, warning signs to watch for, and steps you can take to protect yourself, your family and your finances. Representatives from several California agencies will be on hand to share information and answer questions.

☀️ Solar Project Update

We're pleased to share a quick update on Mizell's new solar parking canopy project!

Our contractor has completed the underground work for this phase of the project. Construction crews will be off-site for approximately the next two to three weeks while materials are finalized and the structural steel is prepared for delivery.

Once the steel delivery date is confirmed, work will resume, and the contractor will coordinate the next phase with the goal of minimizing impacts to parking and visitor access.

Thank you for your continued patience and support as we make this exciting investment in Mizell's future. We'll continue to share updates as the project progresses!
