Applying for general and strategic impact grants from the Cape Cod Foundation is a welcome activity this month. It refines our mission and goals. It focuses our programming for one of the regions in the United States with a large number of people aged sixty to eighty.
Interviewing people, creating workshops and building collabortions with other organizations is our plan.

Dear Friends,
Welcome to our monthly Newsletter and greetings from Orleans, Massachusetts the home of At Sixes and Sevens Multimedia, Inc.
One of our guiding principles is "we're not old yet" The two current interviews on our website prove the veracity and the usefulness of that statement. The first is a conversation with a civic volunteer who has imaginatively created a concept of community development that brings together culture and arts organizations in unique ways. His intention to revitalize the town through public and private efforts has mobilized people to volunteer, to visualize and to enjoy a remarkable array of town assets.
The second interview shares the insights of a expert gardener who is in his seventies. If you met him on the street you might not guess his all-consuming interest in the benefits of the garden. The vision he projects supports the importance of gardening for people in their sixties and seventies. Sustaining a sense of humor is just one of the perks of gardening. |
A new robust period of adult life has emerged. It has been created by a rapidly increasing demographic of people aged sixty to eighty years old. They have both resources and time. They are active and experienced. They are healthy and expectant of a long, interesting life. They seek connection and enrichment, in traditional and novel ways.
At Sixes and Sevens, Inc. we want to make it easier to find ideas and information about and of interest to this community. We seek to encourage people's productivity by offering ways to interact with the pace of change in this new life stage. We foster the inspiration of a vibrant peer group that enhances peoples' own active lifestyle.
Most importantly, At Sixes and Sevens, Inc. provides a new learning environment based on communication and technology. We have a multimedia approach that includes an interactive website, a wide range of topic offerings, videos, blogs, podcasts, a radio program and interviews exclusively with people between the ages of sixty and eighty.
Being at sixes and sevens isn't just an extension of middle age. These years present new waves of opportunity for contribution to society. We must get ready for the creativity and impact of this large group of new activists. Society isn't exactly ready now! So let's get started.
