Dear Friends,  

 

Lifelong learning is the key to coping with and even embracing change. The growing role of  technology and social media can provide new and exciting opportunities to overcome challenges of disability, isolation, and keeping up with the fast changing world of information and ideas.

Mayor Edwin M. Lee  announced a series of District-based Budget Town Halls in the coming months that are being co-hosted by the Mayor and members of the Board of Supervisors to educate the public about the Mayor's budget principles and to hear directly from San Franciscans about their budget concerns and ideas. Millions of dollars are set to be cut from programs to help people age in community.  We need to speak out for those who cannot.
