For Our Twin Cities-area Readers:Want to give 1 hour and 15 minutes in a Pilot Project for the Next Generation of Aging Services?The Citizens League is seeking volunteers to help it test a segment of an exciting initiative it is working on in the arena of aging services. If you are interested in participating in the session on the evening of Feb. 28th below at St. Paul College, please contact the Citizens League at (651) 293-0575. They’d like to hear from you so that they can schedule you in either the 5 p.m. group or 6 p.m. group.Here’s Some BackgroundThe Citizens League, a leading Minnesota non-partisan civic engagement and public policy organization, is going to be developing a citizens workshop later this year called ‘Imagining a New Generation of Aging Services.’ (Ecumen is sponsoring the workshop). At the workshop, participants will discuss what they want in senior services and help identify new products and services to improve senior care services in Minnesota. The results will frame a follow-up body of work led by the Citizens League to determine what specifically needs to happen from a public policy perspective to turn these products and services into reality.Your Help on February 28thTo make the workshop as successful as possible, the Citizens League is testing a portion of it on February 28th at the Citizens League Policy Open House (described in the link below) at Saint Paul College. They are seeking participants for an hour and 15 minutes at either 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. A facilitator will be asking participants to write down their vision for growing older and then discuss as a group what are the ‘products’ that would make these visions for aging possible. There will be other things going on that evening during the Policy Open House besides this discussion, you can learn more about those below.http://citizensleague.org/events/past/2008/02/policy_open_hou.php
