Upcoming Programs

Aging Together partners with other organizations for relevant programs and seminars that serve to educate or assist both family and professional caregivers, as well as to offer general interest topics. We also post non-partner programs from organizations we know and trust if we believe them to be appropriate. During the pandemic these are all in virtual format, usually webinars or through Zoom.
Programs are listed chronologically with the earliest first.

Aging Together Presents:
The next meeting of Culpeper Liveable Aging Communities (CLAC)
February 22, 2021 / Noon

Aging Together is seeking adults age 50 and above to join CLAC! If you live in the Culpeper area your input is necessary to assure this coalition plans a liveable community model that supports its residents' ability to age in place and stay at home as long as possible, if not forever.

On February 22 we will have experts join us to discuss feasability which will include a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) discussion. This exercise is a means to measure capacity for a community to achieve its aspirations. The coalition will continue to meet regularly to foster development of the "Village Model" liveable community. We CANNOT plan a liveable community without the involvement of older adults! Please consider joining us for this project. You need not have attended a previous meeting to be part oft this important group.

To learn more about Liveable Communities and the Village Model visit Rapp at Home: https://www.rappathome.net/ or LOWLINC: https://tinyurl.com/lowlinc
