Dear Friends,

By now, you may have heard that Sharon Hurley, our director of

social services and volunteer coordinator, retired from her full-time

position at PSRC effective Friday, January 27, 2022.

As many of you know, Sharon has been an integral part of PSRC

since being hired to join the staff in November of 2015. Prior to

joining our staff team, Sharon served as director of volunteer

services with Life Choice Hospice and had an illustrious career

in human services that demonstrates her commitment to serving

her community. At PSRC, Sharon successfully managed the social

services department through a period of significant growth, including

the transition to offering virtual support throughout the pandemic.

Under Sharon’s compassionate and skilled leadership, PSRC’s

social services department expanded to provide even more case

management, resource referral, and individual and group support.

Additionally, Sharon has led PSRC to have strong community

connections, working with municipal and nonprofit partners to serve

older adults throughout the greater Princeton region. Indeed, I know

that Sharon has helped many of you, and many of her colleagues,

navigate care for loved ones and other challenges.

In addition to leading the social services department with excellence,

Sharon used her experience and expertise as a certified volunteer

administrator (CVA) to expand PSRC’s use of volunteers throughout

the organization. Many of you have gotten to know Sharon through

her caring work with our volunteers who, under Sharon’s leadership,

have become integral to PSRC’s overall success.

Sharon will be greatly missed — but she goes into this next phase of

her own journey with our profound gratitude and support. Thankfully,

Sharon has agreed to remain at PSRC on a part-time basis through

this period of search and transition. In this interim time, Sharon will

continue to facilitate groups and provide support as part of our social

services team.

Please join me in expressing our gratitude to Sharon for her

incredible service to PSRC and wishing her well as she takes this next

step in her life’s journey. Cards or notes of appreciation may be sent

to Sharon’s attention here at PSRC — or you may email her directly

at shurley@princetonsenior.org

All the Best,

A Note from Sharon

Dear Friends,

I could write volumes about all my wonderful experiences while

being at PSRC, but I will simply say, thank you! I have been honored

to serve so many people, and it would be impossible to name

everyone that has touched my life so profoundly. The supportive

relationships that resulted from facilitating groups has delighted me.

The community partners that I worked with, as well as their support

of PSRC, fills me with pride and gratitude. Volunteers, including the

PSRC board, are such an integral part of the success of what happens

every day, and things couldn’t be done without each of you.

There is a very special place in my heart for the residents that live

in a Princeton Housing Authority community, especially since my

office was located at Spruce Circle for most of my time with PSRC.

Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues for being so generous

with their time and spirit. Their dedication and compassion for the

seniors that are served is abundant and evident in all that they do

each day. I will miss everyone at PSRC, but I smile when I hear what

my eight-year-old granddaughter says, “My Grammy can go to my

regular things now — not just the special things!” I can now be an

around the corner grandmother in this new chapter of my life.

With love, Sharon

“Show, don’t tell” is the single piece of advice

that writers are given most often to help them

craft compelling, evocative writing that captivates

readers’ imaginations and keeps them reading.

But what exactly does this mean? In this writing

workshop, we will learn what showing is, how

to do it, and how to spot telling in our writing.

We will focus on “showing through highlighting

actions and reactions, writing vivid descriptions,

and crafting crisp dialogue. Writers are encouraged

to share their in-class writing in a supportive

community of like-minded individuals. Novice

and more experienced writers can benefit from this

course as can writers of different genres. Maximum

Google’s uncanny ability to serve up what we’re looking for often lists “sponsored” websites that could be deceptive.

Some twenty-five years ago, Google

assumed the reins from AltaVista as

the premier search “engine.”

Using its

ingenious “page rank” algorithm, Google

returns search results in milliseconds and

with uncanny accuracy. It’s as if the Google

people know precisely what we’re looking

for because the results are usually at the top

of the list! And for free!

But, alas, few things are really “free” on

the internet. For example, while you and

I don’t pay Google when we use its search

engine, companies who want their websites

to appear at the top of Google’s search

results do, which means you can’t assume

the first few results are what you’re looking

for. This is especially important when

you’re seeking technical help because

some websites may offer services that

require a service charge while others may

be scams.

For instance, note the screenshot of the

list Google returned when I searched for

“Windows Help.” The top three websites in

Google’s list are sponsored by various non-

Microsoft companies that provide (or claim

to provide) Windows help.

All three sites (Justananswer.com, Ask-crew.com, and Howly) require a subscription and fee and may

or may not be Microsoft experts. They may be fine, but I wanted the official Microsoft site, which is the

fourth item on the list.

Tips for safe searches

1. Don’t assume the search results at the top of a Google list are what you’re looking for.

2. Remember that sponsored websites may or may not be listed first and may or may not be the

“official” website you want. Official company websites usually include the name of the company,

like hp.com, microsoft.com, or apple.com, in their website address.

3. Bypass Google and enter the URL of the site you want directly into the address bar. For example,

www.microsoft.com or www.hp.com. Then search on those official websites for what you want.

4. Never call “800” numbers for advice unless you are certain who you are talking to.

If you need technical help, our volunteer tech team may be just the ticket. Just fill out the nifty help

request at https://princetonsenior.wufoo.com/forms/technology-assistance-request/.

1 A “search engine” is a website that provides a list of other websites based on the topic you’re searching for.

PSRC’s Aging Gaily group for LGBTQ+ older adults kicked

off in January. The group discussed gay history and plans to

coordinate social activities, build friendships, and offer support

as needed. This group will meet at NSK in a hybrid format on

February 17 at 2:00 p.m. (rescheduled from February 20 due to

the holiday). The Aging Gaily group invites any LGBTQ+ elders

to join or sign up to have someone reach out to you about the

group.

Forever Young (ages 55–65) held an interest meeting in

December and will start having regular meetings on the first

Tuesday of each month. The next meeting at NSK is a hybrid

For over twenty years, Rothkoff Law Group has been helping clients and their families respond

to the legal, financial, physical, and psychological challenges associated with the aging process in

both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Rothkoff Law Group is committed to giving you peace of mind

as you plan for the future. Their office believes that dedicated and superior customer

service and individualized attention can make this seemingly overwhelming process

empowering and even rewarding.

In the words of our founding attorney, Jerold E. Rothkoff, Esq., “Our goal is to

improve the lives of those we have the privilege to advocate for and to help change the

long-term care system for the better.” Rothkoff Law Group strives to be a resource to

both the clients we serve and to the elder care industry as well.

One resource Rothkoff updates yearly is their Elder Law Quick Fact Numbers. Request a paper
