DESCRIPTION
Join a small group of folks who are learning different ways to make sure they will be able to age in place, with their loved ones and their quality of life. We brainstorm together, compare notes on what works, exam different practices, and learn to advocate for our wishes.

Typical monthly sessions include learning and social parts, with aging and disability activist Martha Mason.

Please join us for a free movie!

Waddie Welcome: A Man Who Could Not be Denied. Learn the extraordinary story of Waddie Welcome, a man born with cerebral palsy on the 4th of July, 1914, and the people who surrounded him to make their whole community stronger. It is a life lesson in inclusion from people who became masterful by making it happen.

After living in a nursing home for over ten years, community members worked together to help Mr. Welcome return home. This is the story of how personal relationships can spark and sustain justice in our society, describing how a community came together to enable Waddie Welcome to move back to his community.
