Franklin Invites You to the Mayor's Breakfast Roundtable Tuesday,
May 13, 2008, 7:30 - 9:00 a.m. at the City Council Chambers, Second Floor,
City Hall 55 Trinity Avenue, SW - Atlanta, GA 30303 "We
Are Our Mother's Daughters: women and aging in Atlanta" A
panel of experts will discuss the emotional, financial and physical aspects
of growing older and the overriding issue of who will care for the caregiver.
There is a huge gender disparity when it comes to women since we obviously
live longer but are proportionately less prepared for the eventuality of our
physical decline. We will also look at elder abuse and the nursing care
industry, preparing for end-of-life medical decisions for ourselves and our
families and confronting the reality that "getting old isn't for
sissies." RSVP to: stdavis@atlantaga.gov
Sponsored by the Atlanta Women's Agenda with support from the League of Women
Voters Atlanta-Fulton, the Atlanta Commission of Women and especially Kaiser
Permanente. Looking for a
