In respons...Thank you for both of your comments. <br /><br />In response to the first comment, I agree with you about the importance of reaching out to older persons and creating opportunities for them to participate in an organization's daily activities, that is to give them the option to continue being active in our communities.

Perhaps you could reach out to older or retired people who are looking to continue working because they need to or want to. After all as you note, older Americans face discrimination in the workplace, especially during tis recession, and at the same time many of us older Americans are eager to work and look for ways to stay current or to change to new careers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
