May 10th Inaugural South Fraser CARP meeting a Great Success




The South Fraser CARP inaugural meeting was held early yesterday evening, May 10th, at the Township of Langley 4th Floor Presentation Center/Council chambers. It was a wonderfully successful event. In excess of 80 people attended. The theme was aging in place and transportation in relation to where we live and the where and why we choose to live where we do and how it relates to aging in place. The highlight of the evening was the lively interaction with the audience members who were generous in sharing their opinions and thoughts on the topics. The audience attendees essentially gave us a shopping list of action items to be further explored and championed by South Fraser CARP chapter 48. We are now off and running! Thank you.
