League of Women Voters of Skagit County
February Meeting Details
When: Monday, February 3, 6:30- 7:30 or 8 pm
Where: Burlington Haggen, Community Room or on Zoom
Topic: Elder Caregiving Study
A group of 6 League members from around the state have stepped up and produced an amazing study for all of us to learn about Elder Caregiving. As many of us have been or are currently involved in assisting our elders, both family and friends, and as many of us have to face the reality of pondering options for our own care in our later years, this topic is so relevant.
On Monday evening we will start with viewing the study group's video presentation. This will be followed by discussion on the league's consensus process, and if our local League wants to participate in that process. That next step will likely require an additional meeting or several smaller group meetings perhaps at different times and locations. Those interested could watch the video on their own and join the smaller group meetings.
In the meantime, please look at this link where you can read the executive summary. https://lwvwa.org/eldercare On this page you will also see links to read the entire study and information on how the consensus process works.
If you aren't able to join us on Monday, but are interested in reviewing the study on your own and participating in discussion around the consensus questions and process, be sure to send me an email. What our Skagit League does and contributes depends on the interest that we hear expressed from all of you and if we want to weigh in on this topic with LWVWa!
Hope to move to action with many of you.
