PESID is a private networking organization owned and operated by Golden Maturity Inc., a Brooklyn based marketing company focused on helping companies with their senior marketing needs. The purpose of PESID is to bring together like minded people to develop resources for seniors and have fun doing it. Basic membership is free, and as of this time there are over 325 members. Over 90 % of the members of PESID work with seniors, the other 10% of our members are mostly retired people or people looking for ways to help the seniors in their family. PESID started back in March of 2010 to hold monthly meetings in Brooklyn NY. Now meetings are held monthly in Brooklyn.For the last year or so, PESID Nassau meetings have been held in the Rockville Center area.
PESID is planning on holding monthly meetings on Staten Island, and just last week the Espanade Senior Residences located on Richmond Avenue just minutes from the Verazano Bridge Hosted our first Staten Island meeting.
We are planning our next Staten Island meeting for September and it will be hosted once again at the Esplanade Luxry Senior Residences. The Esplanade is more like a modern hotel. The rooms are fabulous. The bathrooms had ceramic, and other fancy tile work. The place was immaculate. The dinning room has wonderful lighting and is situated just off a very large outdoor deck. Shopping is also in walking distance, for those who want a little exercise. For more details on The Esplanade Luxury Senior Residences you can contact Patrice Ficco at 718-698-9000. I have to say considering the level of luxury they are providing to their clients the price is very affordable.

PESID Brooklyn Spring Fling
Posted 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

105 NYC Senior Centers Potentially Slated to Close
Posted by: | CommentsOn April 1, the new budget will go into effect. Millions of dollars in funds will be cut from Title 20 of the NY budget. Title 20 monies are partially used to fund NY Senior Centers. According to Senator Golden, these monies have been allocated as part of the budget for decades. He also said “if these funds are cut it will be extremely difficult to get them back.”
These funds that are scheduled to be cut on April 1, 2011 will potentially cause 105 NY Seniors Centers to Close.
Check the list for the Senior Center in your neighborhood that might potentially close.
The PESID, People Empowering Seniors Independence & Dignity, group will be meeting tomorrow in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. I’m the Founder of the PESID group, and we are urging folks to come out and discuss these cuts that will certainly be catastrophic. Senior Centers are a vital resource for many of our seniors. Senior Centers provide meals, counseling, socialization and so much more. These cuts will effect more than 10,000 seniors in our city.
If you would like to join us tomorrow and let your voice be heard just RSVP at this link. If you are not a member you will need to sign up for your free membership and then RSVP. PESID, People Empowering Senior Independence & Dignity.
