Okay so I haven’t yet started getting my official mailings from the AARP BUT I do get mailings from the LGBT aging project. The LGBT Aging Project is, in their own words:
The LGBT Aging Project works to ensure that LGBT elders and their caregivers have equal access to the benefits, protections, and aging programs, services, and institutions that their heterosexual neighbors rely on.
Typically, LGBT elder activists replicate existing, mainstream services and provide them directly to elders. This is very important work. But the LGBT Aging Project works from a different perspective: we focus on the significant aging services infrastructure and expertise that already exists. We believe that LGBT citizens and taxpayers should have full access, and a real choice about whether or not to use it. And we teach the system how and why to create an LGBT-friendly atmosphere and culturally appropriate programs and services.
One little thing they are doing, which sounds totally cool, is to sponsor an OUT to Brunch, a gathering of Lesbian, Bi and Trans-women over 50. It sounds neat…here are the details and how to get more info:
- When is the event? Saturday September 29, 2007
- What are the times? 11 am to 1 pm
- Where is the event? Christopher’s, 1920 Mass Ave (Porter Square), Cambridge, MA
- What is the Cost? $5 (Includes coffee/tea, juice and brunch entrée)
