Hello fellow MASWA members!
There is a chill in the air. Jackets and sweatshirts are being brought out from the back of closets. Apple orchards and pumpkin farms are on the to do list. That can only mean one thing...Fall is here. And with fall there are so many fun things to see and do, so start making your list.
Make sure on the top of your list is attending the 35th Annual Fall Aging Conference brought to you by MASWA and SPSWA. This year's conference, titled Risky Business, will be held on Thursday, October 29 at the Earl Browne Heritage Center in Brooklyn Center. For more information or to register for the conference, check out our website, www.seniorworkers.org. Remember that if you renew your annual MASWA membership at the Fall Aging Conference, there is a discount of $5.00, bringing your total for MASWA membership and all the associated benefits of membership for only $20.00. We look forward to seeing you at the conference. Loretta Stinson
