Expert Series
EXPLORE. EDUCATE. EMPOWER.
Do you know people over 65 make up the fastest growing age demographic in the United States?
People in this age group are living longer, better and YOUNGER than ever before. However, as with any life stage, late adulthood brings changes and challenges and we are here to explore them all.
Our monthly group will bring in experts to educate, then together we will break it down.
We will explore, empower and support. So tell your friends (pour yourself a cup of coffee) and join us in a comfortable space to share, learn and enjoy!
