Hi Carole and Team,
One of my immediate allies has told me about your project and leadership, and it’s clear I need to be in touch with you. I also have ties to Eugene and the arts community there. I founded the Willamette Jazz Society, before moving here in 2002. I am now working on creating an artists colony designed for all ages but devoted to the art of aging well. Our website is coming along so you’ll get some info there. I would love to know more about the work you are doing and hope to do more of. Very impressive and inspiring. My biggest inspiration is the Burbank Senior Artists Colony. http://www.seniorartistscolony.com. Seems like your model for work space could be applied to residential shared space as well.
Please let me know if you’d be willing to talk, on the phone, on email or in person.
Yours in Service to Elders and the Arts!
