APRIL 19: WHO IS MY VILLAGE – MY COMMUNITY?

This café will explore the concept of Virtual Villages, which are social safety nets available in neighborhoods throughout the state designed to help seniors thrive wherever they call home. We’ll hear from a panel of village members and organizers to learn the benefits of these communities of connection.
