Community Update: Taking care of our treasures

Published On: August 21st, 2023

Many of us are who we are today because of the Matriarchs and Patriarchs we have had in our lives they showed us the way. I know I wouldn’t be if it weren’t for them! I like to call them our TREASURES. They’ve shown us how to live, how to give, our history, its importance, and our roles in it. They’ve vested so much into us, but unfortunately, and in many cases, they have become the unseen, underserved, undervalued, and forgotten population.

From The Kenosha News:

“There is no end to the advice out there on how to age.

Women’s magazines tell females to age gracefully, avoiding certain styles of clothing or too much makeup so as to always appear appropriate. Men’s publications talk about virility and working out for better health. Travel tomes spout information on the best places in the world to retire to – tropical islands where property is cheap and taxes are nonexistent.”
