A Grass-Roots Effort to Grow Old at Home - New York Times

A number of members have pointed out today's NYTimes article on DC area groups devoted to aging in place. See the attached link. We are not alone.

Apparently, many of the groups have adopted the lexicon of Capitol Hill Village, naming themselves "xxx Village". That would make us something like Bethesda Chevy Chase Village. I personally don't like the Village metaphor -- too cutesy and/or politically correct (it takes a village!) or area-bound. But let's get some discussion going about our name as well as our mission. We have colleagues in other parts of town with whom we can discuss as well.
