October is the month to wear orange and black-not for the San Francisco Giants (they will miss Bruce Bochy) – but it is the month of Halloween; let’s wear those colors to the general meeting on Oct.15. This is the first of three meetings relating to who will be on our Board in 2020; we will nominate members for the Board at the October meeting, elect them in November, and install them in December.  A sincere thanks to Helen Soukoulis, Nancy Tepperman, and Paul Levine for stepping up this past year to fill important Board positions.

Gracefully aging in-place:  most of us wish to remain in our homes as long as possible during our sunset years, but many of us will require outside assistance in order to fulfill that wish.  Learn what to expect when you hire someone to help you “age-in-place.”  What kinds of questions should you ask?  What type of help can you expect?  What is the cost and how to pay for it?

Speakers:  Markus Breitbach with Help and Care In-Home Care Services; Casey Fleming, Reverse Mortgage Specialist with C2 Financial; Ann Escobar, Financial Advisor with Waddell & Reed; and Debra Schwartz, Senior Real Estate Specialist with CSR Real Estate Services and panel moderator will provide insight and guidance into these questions about aging-in-place.  They are committed to helping seniors feel empowered to make informed decisions about aging with dignity.
