Interested in Starting an Eldering Group? 
What is an Eldering Group? Well, it is place to explore the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of aging with other explorers. If you are interested in participating in this type of group, please email Reverend Tom Capo at minister@uumiami.org. Reverend Tom would also like to know when would be a good time for this group to meet, so if you have some thoughts on that put that in your email to him.
