"Older and Bolder" Discussion Group News

The discussion/exploratory group, "Older and Bolder--The Joys and Challenges of Growing Old," will continue to meet on Saturdays this summer. In fact we are increasing meeting time to make time for additional information, subjects and simplified scheduling. The Gallery Room has been scheduled for EVERY Saturday at 10 a.m. except for July 2nd.

Our focus for July 9th will be "How do I start reducing my stuff'?" Other future subjects such as the walking group, and a possible on-site tour of a co-housing development are being considered. We know we can't attend every Saturday meeting during the summer with vacations and other plans but Older and Bolder welcomes everyone who can attend.

Events & Activities June 18 - 25
