PESID Brooklyn Spring Fling
By · CommentsPESID Brooklyn Spring Fling is taking place on April 10, 2012. PESID, People Empowering Seniors Independence & Dignity is a networking resource group. It is designed to bring together both retired folks and professionals who serve the senior community. This allows seniors to meet people who work in the senior community in an open environment, where they can freely gather information. I founded the group just over two years ago. Membership to PESID is currently free. You can sign up at PESID.com
The Brooklyn PESID meeting is usually held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
The NYC PESID meeting is usually the 2nd Wednesday of the month.
Nassau PESID is currently in the planning stage and will be announced very shortly.
Many PESID meetings are sponsored in some capacity, allowing for appetizers, etc.
PESID was established because I felt there was a void in bringing seniors and professionals serving seniors together in the same environment.
Remember membership to PESID is free. If you do not live or work in an area where PESID meetings are held, please do not let that stop you from joining PESID. As people join PESID and indicate their geographic area, it establishes how much interest in PESID there is for that area. This information will allow me to figure out if a PESID meeting is ready to be established in your area.
It’s easy to join, just go to PESID.com
Be well

If you are looking for Reverse Mortgages New York info, New Jersey or Connecticut, and wondering how reverse mortgages work this would be a good opportunity to call in and ask questions. Many seniors have lived longer than they had expected, thus they sometimes find reverse mortgages are a great tool for supplementing their income. A HECM, home equity conversion mortgage, is the governments insured reverse mortgage program. You do need to be counseled by a HUD, Housing and Urban Development, approved counseling agency and receive a certificate for the completion of counseling before you can apply for a reverse mortgage.

Thank you
