We invite you to join us at a Board of Trustees meeting on June 25, when members of the Carbondale Age-Friendly Community Initiative (CAFCI) will request that the town of Carbondale be the first Roaring Fork Valley town to join the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. Joining the network will enable Carbondale to tap global and national resources that help cities, towns and states become more age friendly.<\/p>\n
The senior demographic in Carbondale is above 11% and growing. The senior population ranges from very active and engaged to more fragile and in need of care. <\/p>\n
Carbondale Age-Friendly Community Initiative (CAFCI) is an ad hoc caucus of Carbondale\u2019s senior citizens, working on their own and through other organizations, to strengthen seniors\u2019 voices in and contributions to Carbondale. <\/p>\n
CAFCI\u2019s purpose is simply to help seniors become more visible and vocal regarding local issues while contributing their unique experiences and resources. <\/p>\n
We look forward to ongoing community engagement and encourage you to join us at the June 25 trustees meeting.<\/p>\n
