Irene’s engaging presentation “Aging With Purpose and Joy- If Not Now When” presents 44 slides from her first book “Treasured Legacies- Older and Still Great” and explores some of the ideas about people who are aging well despite life’s difficulties. What are the commonalities people have who age well? Is it possible for all of us to age with purpose and joy? These questions are pondered and often answered in the inspiring personalities presented by Irene as a model for dynamic aging. Irene has several points in the presentation where the audience is invited to participate. At the end of the presentation there is a question and answer period.
Irene also has begun to explore in presentations to groups what we can all do to help improve the environment. Handouts are provided.
