Fine Wine or Sour Grapes? Let’s Talk About Aging (In-Person)

Registration Required Below

Co-sponsored by Redding’s Commission on Aging

“Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person you always should have been,” David Bowie

Aging happens… so let’s talk about it! Join a new, informal discussion group as we talk, listen, learn — and figure out how to turn sour grapes into fine wine.

The conversation will be facilitated by Redding residents Jean Rexford and Kathleen Brandt. The group will meet at the Library the second and fourth Thursday of the month.

Potential topics will include maintaining relevancy, resiliency, dealing with ageism, acceptance and compassion.

Fall Meeting Dates:

September 12 & 26, October 10 &24, November 11, December 12 & 26
