Gold Hill Geezers info
Hello Everyone,
Welcome to our March update!
In this email: announcements on three presentations in March on senior services in the mountains
and advance emergency planning.
This is our chance to ask questions, express concerns, and make connections!
Our first presentation is at our March meeting this Tuesday March 4 at 4 pm at the Gold Hill School.
Please sign up for the Gold Hill Geezer What’s App group to discuss any of this and more; that’s why it was set up. The consensus is that there are too many people on our email list here
to do this well on email. The email list is just for announcements and accessing each other’s emails.
To get on the What’s App group, email Paul or Marcus (see emails above).
Looking forward to seeing everyone at our March meeting THIS COMING TUESDAY MARCH 4 at 4 pm at our wonderful Gold Hill School!!!
Best,
Pam
