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
Be well

Rita Cosby book signing, Quiet Hero Secrets from My Father’s Past
Posted by: | CommentsI recently attended a wonderful event, cosponsored by Sunrise
Senior Living, Nancy Waldman, Director of Community Relations Sunrise Senior Living of
Mill Basin
B, Senior Umbrella Network of Brooklyn, Chaired by Miss Vicki Ellner. We enjoyed the
company of friends, colleagues, Sunrise residents, while being serenaded by a violinist, and
greeted by Miss Rita Cosby. All of this took place in the lovely Sunrise Senior Living
residence. Wow, what a wonderful place to retire in. Of the many facilities I have visited, I
can honestly say this one is top notch. At this assisted living residence you feel like you
are on vacation. The residence is situated on the waters edge in Mill Basin, Brooklyn, the
dining room is immaculate and looks better dressed than a fine restaurant.
Journalist Rita
Cosby was all too happy to share her new book with us,
Quiet Hero Secrets from My Father's Past. The book shares the experience
hidden behind the glaze in her father's eyes.
Many of us have members in our own
families, who have never shared the extremely painful things they have experienced in their
lives. Don't let time fade away before getting the chance to thank our family
members and friends for the freedom we have. As Rita says "Freedom is not
Free".
Ten percent of Rita's book proceeds go to Operation
Enduring Care. Click here to learn more about the program to help injured
veterans.
