Subject: Gathering resources for the Age friendly Initiative

Rosanna I was thinking we could share the Power Point from Dr. Woods' presentation on Wednesday with our group and encourage folks to contribute their knowledge of aging resources in our community. I think the Champaign County Senior Task Force possesses a vast source of knowledge which could contribute to the success of this project. The categories included:

Community Support and Health Services
Outdoor Spaces and Buildings
Transportation
Housing
Social Participation
Respect and Social Inclusion
Civic Participation and Employment

I have included the email address for Penny Nigh who is the Administrative Aide for the Center on Health, Aging and Disability at the University of Illinois. As I remember Dr. Woods indicated she could collect the resource information for this project. It would be great to be able to review the information at next month's CCSTF on November 18.

What do you think?

"Once, on ancient Earth, there was a human boy walking along a beach. There had just been a storm, and starfish had been scattered along the sands. The boy knew the fish would die, so he began to fling the fish to the sea. But every time he threw a starfish, another would wash ashore. "An old Earth man happened along and saw what the child was doing. He called out, 'Boy, what are you doing?' " 'Saving the starfish!' replied the boy. " 'But your attempts are useless, child! Every time you save one, another one returns, often the same one! You can't save them all, so why bother trying? Why does it matter, anyway?' called the old man. "The boy thought about this for a while, a starfish in his hand; he answered, "Well, it matters to this one." And then he flung the starfish into the welcoming sea."
