Woah!

I think about Who Cares? all the time, yet can't seem to get any posts up! I am busy getting my Master's degree in Social Work and am a Hartford Fellow, which is a concentration in gerontology. I am super duper busy and am loaded with class work, my internship, and then have a family and my health to tend to. Can't wait until May and I graduate!

I participated in a "round-table" tonight at the Senior Center for addressing the issue of elder abuse. I was happy to see some vital people there, which included Fort Collin's Mayor Karen Weitkunat, State Rep John Kefalas, State Rep Randy Fisher, Larimer County District Attorney Larry Abrahamson, Lori Metz from Larimer County Adult Protection Services, and many others. There were community resources set up and I got tons of material to grow my knowledge of resources Fort Collins has to offer our older adults. It sparked a little get-up-and-go in me, and that usually leaves me thinking of Who Cares? Because who cares about our elders? I do! Do you?
