Everyone is welcome to attend our Conscious Aging and Community Connection Community session Monday. We will exchange information and learn from one another as we discuss resources in our area.
Organizers of our group have assembled lists of resources:
Non-profits, Health Services, County Agencies and Services and Activities and Events and where to find out about them.
At first we planned to make copies of these lists for people attending the Feb. 12th meeting, but the combined list is 18 pages long. If you are unable to attend and would like this list, send me an email and I will reply with the list we’ve compiled in an attachment.
This is our first attempt at creating a resource list. We are interested in your comments and also will be looking to update it by adding new items and deleting resources that are no longer viable.
We’ll also talk about where to find personal services and small businesses in the area.
If you have experience with any of the following services, please bring names and contact information to share Monday:
Sewing/Alterations, Hair Dressers, Pedicure, Manicure, Dog Sitting/Grooming, Cat Sitting/Grooming, Technology Help, Uber Rides, Housesitting, House Cleaning, Handyman Services, Yard Work, Window Washing, House Painters, Plumbers, Mechanics, Knife Sharpening, Chimney/Fireplace Cleaning. What services are you looking for in our community?
