 PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY NOTE
   
My favorite season has begun and boy did it start with a bang!  I love fall; however, I don't love what's to come next and this past week certainly felt like the "w" word was right around the corner.  While you are planning out your best Halloween costume ever and raking up all of the falling leaves, the Fall Aging Conference Steering Committee is hard at work making their final arrangements for our best conference ever!  

 

This year we are celebrating the 40th Annual Fall Aging Conference with the theme Forever Young!  The conference has provided 40 years of amazing topics, cutting edge knowledge, and amazing speakers.  I truly believe that the Twin Cities has such an amazing senior care industry in large part because of all of the collaboration and networking that all of us do on a continual basis.  I feel that the Fall Aging Conference is another amazing tool we have to hear national level speakers who always get us thinking about best practices and who energize us to continue the great work we all do.  Please make sure your calendar is marked for October 23rd so we can see you there!
