Looking for peace in our unsettled world, Wolfgang Kluge joined a peace chorus. I’m planning to go to one or more of his concerts. Would you like to go? With me or with others? https://seattlepeacechorus.org/
Our friend Janis Avery has some local advocacy to propose to you regarding Seattle’s budget shortfall. See the attachment.
I’m sharing information about a Solo Aging Network. I don’t know anything other than what the network convener has to say in the attachment, but it sounds interesting.
