Living Room Conversations: Aging and Ageism
Wednesday, February 22, 2023==6:00 PM – 7:30 PM==Estes Park Library
As soon as we are born, we begin aging. At times in our lives, we automatically seem to be more valuable to society. As we grow older, especially after retirement age, our value to society seems to diminish. Some of our bodies and minds are still alert and ready for action, and some of our bodies and minds are not and death may be in the foreground. This conversation is an opportunity to explore our relationship to our aging and the relationship of our communities to our growing aging population.
For more about the topic and how we’ll engage with each other, check out the Aging and Ageism Conversation Guide. ===REGISTER
