In the most recent member survey many members expressed an interest in having a “Conversation Café”. With this in mind, we will be hosting “ Conversation Cafe’s” on a monthly basis, the 2nd Tuesday of each month, starting with the first one to be held on Tuesday January 20th, 2015 between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.
We will start with “an open discussion of AGING IN VICTORIA”, what it is like for you and what are the issues that are important to you. This is an opportunity for you to be heard and listen to other members in a relaxed social setting.
The format will be” open conversation”, and after our discussion on Jan. 20th 2015, the topic and format for our next session will be chosen. As this is experimental we will be adjusting the topics and formats to meet what most people in attendance would like to see happening. Please come prepared to share your experiences of aging in Victoria.
