When Einstein was asked, "How does it feel to be the smartest man alive?", he replied, "I wouldn't know. You'll have to ask Nikola Tesla." Both icons are known for their ideas and scientists have built on their ideas for generations.

Greetings,
Our thoughts are with our members who may be impacted by the government shutdown. Our leadership at national has indicated that HUD will continue funding for existing contracts but there may be concerns regarding funding for any communities that are up for renewal after the end of January. For these reasons, national is requesting that we contact our federal legislators with the message of "fund HUD." Please review the information on the national website at: https://www.leadingage.org/legislation/hud-shutdown-impacts-members.
"You can do anything as long as you have the passion, the drive, the focus, and the support."

Greetings,
Here it is the holiday season and we have so much to celebrate! I don't know if you attended the Profiles of Positive Aging, but if you didn't, you missed an incredibly inspiring afternoon. We honored twenty older adults that our members felt epitomized lives well led and individuals who continue to live inspiring lives as they age. Everyone who read the write-ups about the honorees recognized that these individuals lived lives with passion, drive and focus and they made huge differences in the lives of others.
