Community As Family
Having caring family nearby can be an invaluable practical and emotional support for older people, especially those living alone.
Temple Members of all ages without close family, or who may be anticipating “aging solo”, are invited to Community as Family, a cordial group which empowers our later years by developing diverse meaningful relationships, knowing how to access important resources, and thinking strategically about the future.
Community as Family will meet on Mondays from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM on the following dates throughout the Spring 2020 season:
January 13 | February 24 | March 23 | April 20 | May 18
Light refreshments will be served, and there are no commercial endorsements. Participation is open to temple members only.
