I attended the event last night and got some much great info. And I agree with the Man who suggested a better “branding” term for Seniors and older and elderly. There’s some many types of old – young old, old old, and really really old:) And I loved Ruth’s proclamation for the OLD to come out of the closet and say how old they are.I, of course have not yet done that!

I attended your recent event at Wix Lounge. It was a wealth of information.
I think that seniors in retirement or near retirement should have the option to not only work in senior friendly environments, but to be able to get funding to do projects with a cross generational focus. I have been working since 2013 to get support and funding for various projects. I think that seniors have an imperative role to play in engaging in activities that will enhance our present reality and the future. All activities should not only focus on the market place and employment for employment sake. We need projects that develop character and human bonding, if we are to get out of this money crazed world with no values; but the dollar bill.
