Friday's Fun Community Finds - May 23, 2004

Elderly Concerns and Extended Weekend

Monday - May 26, 2014

For many throughout the country, this is a three-day weekend where Monday marks the beginning summer.  But let’s not forget that Monday is Memorial Day - the day where we as a nation honor those brave men and women that have made the ultimate sacrifice as they served us and our country with their military service.

Click here to watch a short video put out by The History Channel to learn how this day of honor (it just doesn't sound right to refer to it as holiday) traces back to the Civil War.

Mark the Calendar

This next find isn’t actually this weekend, but it was just publicized and if you have an elderly parent it warrants being added to your calendar. 

On June 4th at the Thousand Oaks City Hall the Thousand Oaks Council on Aging is hosting a panel that will address senior citizen issues, including housing.  Specifically, they will discuss available housing in Thousand Oaks, and the realities of elderly downsizing, financing, and housing fraud.  The panel discussion is titled “Housing Opportunities: Issues and Concerns Affecting Seniors in Thousand Oaks”, and will be held in the third-floor boardroom at 1pm.

If you have elderly parents, whether they live in Thousand Oaks, California or not, this is a great opportunity to hear about hot topics impacting that age group.  

In fact, this is such an important topic that I’m going to do something I don’t like to do inside these Friday Finds posts - I’m going to offer my help.  I hesitate to do this here because I like Friday Finds to be all about the various goings-on in our Conejo Valley community, from Westlake Village to Newbury Park, CA, but if you have a parent that needs to downsize their home and do  not know where to turn to get your questions answered, regardless if they live in our area or some other state, I want to make myself available to provide any real estate information that you would find helpful as you look to assist your parents in this time in their lives.  Truly, I am here to help.   Real Estate matters can be complicated when we’re handling them for ourselves, let alone our parents.  Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have - I am here to help!
