While we should remember that growing older is a time of leisure, recollection, and celebration, it can also be a time of unwelcome surprises, inconveniences, and annoyances; it is a comfort to know that as you have these experiences, so too have others before you been through a similar time. It is one of the rewards of aging to gather with other women and men whose experience can add to your joy or to help you in this new part of the journey.  Advances in technology and medical science have brought us longer lives. Now we are challenged not just to live longer, but also - and more importantly - to live better. Our objective is to be part of that challenge with you, to live better physically, emotionally, and intellectually.  “Getting Along in Years” is an aging-education and fellowship group, meeting monthly, to share wisdom, joy, and encouragement.
