What’s Next…. neighbors supporting each other and our community as we age

Our purpose. To help members age at home safely, comfortably, & independently while remaining engaged in the organization and the broader community. We will accomplish this with educational events, social activities, facilitation of volunteer engagement, creation of communication infrastructure, & encouragement of responsible planning for end-of-life.

Our 2025 Annual Meeting

If you missed the Annual Meeting in January …….

You can still see slide show the 2024 photos. Thanks, Kathy, for sharing the link: Slide Show of 2024 Activities

Many thanks to Mollie Fein, our outgoing president for her years of service. In her parting remarks at the annual meeting, she suggested we add these 4 points of clarification to our above Mission. The membership approved with loud applause.

1. Aging is hard.
2. Aging in community is better.
3. Aging with friends in that community is even better.
4. Creating networks of friends in that community is the strength of What’s Next.

Who We Are….

What’s Next started when a group of us got together and began talking about how happy we are that we've made our homes in southeast Baltimore and how we'd like to stay here as we age.  We decided to find others who wanted to join us, plan some activities to stay active and to help us get to know each other and develop a structure to help support each other and our community.  Please explore our website, see what we're up to and let us know if you'd like to join us.
