Join us in New York City for SAGE’s Fourth National Conference on LGBT Aging.  IT’S ABOUT TIME: LGBT AGING IN A CHANGING WORLD, will take place October 12-14 2008 and is sponsored by AARP. Why should you go? Over the next quarter century, the number of seniors in America is projected to grow geometrically from 12% to 20% of the total population. Since 6-8% of these individuals are likely to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT), by the year 2030, LGBT seniors age 65 and above are expected jump from 2.5 million to as many as 4.7 million. With 2.5 million LGBT seniors today, and another 2 million joining them in the next 25 years, shouldn’t you be prepared? 
SAGE’s Fourth National Conference on LGBT Aging, It’s About Time: LGBT Aging in a Changing World, sponsored by AARP, will offer you resources, information, tools, insights, and networking opportunities to effectively address what LGBT aging will look like in the 21st century.  For more information, to register, and to obtain a Call for Proposals, please visit www.sageusa.org/nationalconference.

If you can push a lawnmower, Herland needs your help.  Just volunteering to mow the yard at Herland once or twice during the summer would be a big help.  We have the mower, we just need a little more woman-power to keep up with the upkeep!  Call Herland at 521-9696 and leave a message or email us at herland@herlandsisters.org if you can help.
