Virtual discussion focused on people with disabilities and older adults in CA and more!

Hello KIRC family~

You know what I absolutely LOVE about our digital world? It is that we can share valuable information with others, regardless of where you live. That also means when one community and/or state is making progress within the field of aging, anyone can learn from that work.

In this case, I would like to share several upcoming events. The first is from the California Department of Aging.
