Retirement age is a complicated issue, and the "Baby Boomers" are the largest, healthiest, best-educated generation in history. We have a responsibility to show younger generations just how truly vital it is to find creative ways for remaining actively engaged with society as one ages, while utilizing the wisdom of elders who are septuagenarians through centenarians.
The Salvation Army Puyallup Valley Corps is continually finding ways of dealing with older people, who are feeling the effects of their age, by helping them find ways that enable them to ease their way into full-time retirement by exercising common sense, discretion and fairness when it comes to dealing with retirement.
Since transition from work to non-work can be very damaging and leave people feeling lost in their retirement, some people find it hard to learn how to relax, make new friends and find something meaningful to lend some weight and importance to their days.
Please join us. Together we can ease those concerns about becoming isolated and feeling alone by facilitating positive solutions to retirement age through programs and activities geared toward healthy lifestyles and positive interaction with others.
