Feb 8: Elders' Guild (Berkeley, CA)
The Elders' Guild is a grass-roots organization that is creating a bold new vision to help us prepare forcommunity, activism and deep life-long learning for the rest of our lives.
Our vision is a world in which empowered and conscious elders join together in common purpose to bring healing,joy and connection to our lives, our families, our communities and theworld. Our mission is to create the communities where we re-imagine our old age,look after one another and embody the wisdom that will enable us to help heal the future. Our goal is to help us prepare for a meaningful role as elders in society even though we have been conditioned to expect diminished strength and capacity. Everyone is welcome to participate.
We ended 2008 with three strong workshops focussing on each of of our three Elders' Guild Foundations: Community, Wisdom and Championing the Future. At our last regular Sunday afternoon gathering in November, there was a strong feeling that we should meet at least twice a month. So we've arranged to add a second gathering in January and each month hereafter.
The Elders' Guild is Multi-Generational and Multi-Cultural.

Mar 15-19: Aging In America (Las Vegas, NV)
Aging in America, the 2009 Annual Conference of the American Society on Aging and the National Council on Aging takes place March 15-19 in Las Vegas. The ASA-NCOA Conference, with nearly 4,000 attendees, is recognized as a showcase for programs and projects that can be replicated, a forum for policy discussion and advocacy, and a prime source of information on new research findings in aging. It is the largest gathering of a diverse, multidisciplinary community of professionals from the fields of aging, healthcare and education, along with business leaders from across the United States.
Attendees come from around the country and abroad to find the answers, the experts, the research, the best practices, and the most comprehensive educational offerings available to professionals. It is the place to be if you want to learn about what’s new, what works, and how you can make it work to respond to the ever-growing demands of serving an aging population. The conference provides attendees with the opportunity to network with new and old friends, gain insight from voices from the front line and find new grassroots and national partners for advocacy.
We may have some exhibit passes available to people interested in volunteering. Contact us for more info.
