Happy Birthday, Ann!
Ann Gillis, longtime Cloverdale Senior Multipurpose Center member, celebrated her 100th birthday on Sept. 8. The city of Cloverdale issued her a proclamation to commemorate her 100th birthday. The only thing that could have been sweeter is if Ann, known as Cloverdale’s “hugging grandmother,” could have given everyone a hug.

Aspiring to be tobacco free
Imagine that you’re sitting with a friend, they’re vaping, and suddenly they start to choke on the aerosol they’re inhaling. In an effort to save them, you go through a door that transports you to “smoke city,” an alternate reality where tobacco rules. From there, you have to complete a series of tasks and tests in order to find your friend, who’s still having a negative reaction to the vape. That’s the premise of ASPIRE (A Smoking Prevention Interactive Experience), a game developed to help educate young people on the impacts of tobacco and nicotine.
