Hello everyone,
Summer is creeping up on us and with it, the opportunity to safely venture out for perhaps a vacation, a meal with family or friends (join us for breakfast at the Barefoot Café on June 16) or even a long-awaited event (maybe a graduation or a wedding?)! Or maybe you have been working all along (thank you essential workers!), out in the big wide world or maybe at home. The Commission on Aging’s event this month is on transportation options, and the forum will focus on options for caregiving, for yourself or for someone you know and love. Slowly our community is coming back together—we hope to see you out
and about soon, in June!
The Age Friendly Fairfax Task Force: Jody Timms, Barbara Coler, Susan A. Brandborg, Francie Bedinger, Anne Mannes, Jessica Price,
and Jackie Engstrom.

Ross Valley Seniors
Thursday, June 3, 12:30-2pm
Come join the Ross Valley Seniors on Zoom for a chair yoga demonstration with David Knox! This is a gentle chair yoga demonstration in which we will learn to safely move and stretch our body. Our focus will be on breathing, range of motion, strength and flexibility. The practice will also be infused with yoga philosophy, physical and energetic anatomy and meditation. Please have a sturdy chair with no arms and a small blanket available. The chair will be used for seated poses as well as support for standing poses. Please be able to move from the chair, to standing, back to the chair safely. Come join us for gentle to moderate stretching, yoga inspiration and guided meditation.

Age Friendly Marin Forum
Wednesday, June 23, 10:30-11:45am:
"How to Find Great Caregivers in Marin" The experience of caregiving is complex and usually exists on a continuum---starting with help with just a few needs and ending with assistance with almost everything. Caregivers are often in short supply and high demand. Finding the right one may seem like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where do you begin? Join us for a valuable panel presentation by several experts: Jewish Family and Children's Services, Marin Center for Independent Living, and Home Care Assistance.
