Intergenerational Blog (Senior Voices) 070915Came across the following news story and found it to be a great example of how to think outside of the box and integrate multiple generations under one roof. If the option of space for a day-care on your compass isn’t possible that doesn’t mean there are no options.  Consider inviting a local pre-school class in for an ice-cream social or afternoon tea.  What other activities or events might help draw a variety of ages to your community?  I invite you to share what works best in your community to gather young and old generations together.
