Women Aging with Wisdom and Grace Salon/Discussion Group

Ever wonder what our succeeding years will bring? Come join us for a welcoming conversation on women and aging. We will explore what it means to age in our youth-driven society and how each of us faces the challenges and rewards of getting older. Women Aging with Wisdom & Grace is an open and supportive environment where women can safely discuss aging, in all its wonders and challenges. All books are suggested readings, not required, which makes it different from a conventional book group. All meetings will also feature a potluck, so please bring a dish to share.

This group will meet every six weeks, on Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. 

Facilitators: Connie Kiosse (c.kiosse@gmail.com) & 
Lynn Money (wcflynn@gmail.com)
