| Message | Following a discussion with Rainer, I am looking for a speaker about Co-housing.
I have been asked to coordinate a series for U3A (University of the 3rd Age). U3A members are mostly retired/semi-retired, but are interested in keeping their minds active on a wide range of topics: we never stop learning.
The title I was given was \"The business of growing old\". However, as most members of U3A are probably feeling their age to a greater or lesser extent, I thought they would be more likely to sign up/attend if I called it \"Future Choices: Ironing Out the Wrinkles\"...
Certainly Housing comes under the umbrella of Future Choices and I hope to have a session on various options: retirement village, co-housing, Abbeyfield and what supports are available to help folk stay in their own homes.
Dates for the series of 6 x U3A talks next year are Tues afternoons 2.15-4.15pm, March 3 - April 7, 2020. Talks are in 2 halves of 40-45mins with break in between for cuppa etc. Good to leave >/= 5mins for questions in each half. I thought I would try and get 2 speakers to share each half.
It is most likely, but not definite at this stage, that series will be held at the Otago Golf Club premises off Helensburgh Rd. (V. small chance venue may change.)
I hope you are able to contribute and, if not, perhaps can suggest someone else in your field.
Regards,
Tree Cocks
