From the Chair:
Prologue is not
past
As the year 2002
begins, what can we find in the events of Sept. 11
of a positive nature? We were rudely thrust back
into the stark realities of life on this planet.
Poverty, hate, pain and illness pervaded too many
areas affecting the most vulnerable, especially
seniors.
Suddenly, the news
coverage that overwhelmed us for months, if not
years – of the Simpson trial, Monica, Gary Condit,
the Twins’ stadium struggle – faded away.
Hopefully, with all
its horror, Sept. 11 may have shocked us to return
to a checklist of activities, that will bring our
mission back into focus. The stimulation of mental,
physical and spiritual activities, with services to
others, will be high on everybody’s "to
do" list.
In the months to
come, the comprehensive programs that the Minnesota
Board on Aging has developed, will be presented in
detail. We look forward to our new association with
Good Age and the chance to work with our legislators
in January.
– Kenneth Moritz,
Chair
Minnesota Board on
Aging
