From Marvin Kranz - Info on "Village" Organizations

Dear Folks,

As you knew, we were in Dallas for a bar mitzvah and could not attend. Thanks for the update and will look forward to instructins for the blog, which is an alien species to us.

Of interest in the latest AARP District of Columbia Update, there is a note on "Village" models. "In the District, neighborhoods in Palisades and Kalorama have taken major steps toward establishing this service-delivery model. Capitol Hill Village opened for business on Oct.1" http://assets.aarp.org/www.aarp.org_/articles/states/updates/DC_Update.pdf

AARP has launched a discussion area on its Web site to share ideas and raise questions. The site is www.aarp.org/communityexchange. The Beacon Hill Village (Boston) site is model for many and its site is www.beaconhillvillage.org.

Hope all is well with you all.

Marvin Kranz
