Winter Term 2012
Boomers Rule!
Baby Boomers are the fastest growing segment of the population. Between 2007 and 2030, the age 85+ population is expected to increase by 74%, and then by another 118% between 2030 and 2050. How can we, as individuals and as a community, prepare for this huge demographic shift? What kinds of services and resources will help us? Learn from a recent county-wide survey. Then enjoy an insider's peak at the upcoming March 7 conference: "Is Caregiving MY Encore Career?," sponsored by AARP Oregon, Lane Community College Successful Aging Institute, Senior & Disabled Services, and the ARC of Lane County. For conference information, contact Lane at lanecc.edu/sai or 541.463.4634.
