Join me on October 24th, 25th, and 26th   Dear Neighbor, At the end of this month, I will be hosting my annual Virtual Senior Resource Fair. Over three sessions on October 24th, 25th, and 26th, we will explore opportunities for solo agers to make connections and build community, support available to ease the burdens of caregiving, and opportunities to explore and advocate for our natural environment. I hope you can join me for one or more of these great events. See below for more information and registration details.
