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.
