Re: This listserve can be read by anyone - at least that's what it seems settings say
Hi Linda and Marilyn,
Linda, it sounds like you're receiving emails the way we all receive them when someone creates a post in the OAEF io groups list serve.
Some mentioned a program where teens or young adults buddy up to help folks learn more about technology - but I don't recall what it was. Could you participate in this program?
Marilyn, at San Mateo Adult and Career Education, there are many classes to help folks learn tech skills. They are not marketed to older adults, per se, but older adults are definitely amongst the learners.?
The school is located not far from Caltrain. Marilyn, you could drive or take Caltrain to the Adult School - maybe a once a week class??
The Google Basics class is free. Jeanne Dimon is the teacher. I know her. She is extremely kind and patient.
Here is a link to the computer classes at San Mateo Adult and Career Education:

Article on the value of Adult Education - and some ideas on getting more coverage
Recently, there have been a number of articles about Adult Ed -- leading up to the EdSource RoundTable yesterday.
?
They don't mention Older Adults specifically - but they discuss Adult Ed - which very much needs the coverage.
?
Here's a link one of the articles:
?
?
It's important to get this kind of coverage.?
?
And it would be very helpful if there were an article written specifically about Older Adults.
?
Years back, Nannette Asimov of the SF Chronicle covered cuts to OA classes at CCSF. She is still with the Chronicle. If some of the CCSF folks have a connection to her, it might be worth a reach out.
?
Note:? she only covered OA as part of CCSF. She didn't explain the big picture - overall cuts to Adult Ed in wake of housing crash.
?
I think coverage needs to showcase the big picture. OA classes in K12 Adult Ed was COMPLETELY defunded - and in some Com College systems (not all), OA does not have the support it needs - and across the board - state wide - we need more attention and funding for these classes.?
?
Creating bulletpoint one sheets and infographics would be a helpful handoff to journalists to get the coverage we need.

Hi everyone,??
An agenda for today's meeting of Older Adults Education Forever is attached to this email.? Please feel free to suggest changes.
Here is the information about today's meeting:
Meeting of July 14, 2024?
West County Meeting:? 1:30-2;00 PM General Meeting: 2:00-4:00 PM
Both meetings will use this link:
Meeting ID: 836 3655
5477
Passcode: 576387
A note about the time:
Yesterday a member reminded me that this meeting was scheduled earlier than usual, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM.? I actually had that on my calendar, but thought it was a mistake, so I sent a notice for the usual time, 2:00 to 4:00 PM.
I didn't hear from anyone else about the time difference, so, in hopes of avoiding as much confusion as possible, let's keep the meeting at the old time 2:00 to 4:00 PM.? Maybe we could try to end the meeting a little earlier than usual.
I truly apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

MONTHLY SPEAKER MEETING — all
welcome
this Wednesday, June 26,
2024? 1:30 to 3:30
pm
The June East Bay Gray Panthers
Speaker Meeting!
Purely virtual - from your home via
Zoom.
THE LONG-TERM HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
IS ON LIFE SUPPORT.? MORE THAN TWO MILLION CASES OF ELDER ABUSE AND
NEGLECT ARE REPORTED EVERY YEAR. ??I am just one of the
millions who had absolutely no ?idea how broken and corrupt the
nursing home system truly is until I attempted to navigate it. ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ??-- Susie Singer Carter, filmmaker
Join Gray Panthers of Berkeley and the East
Bay, this?Wednesday, June 26 at 1:30pm for our
monthly Speaker Meeting. Member Nancy Stevens and
Hollywood filmmaker, Susie Singer Carter will share
their first hand experiences and activism in the ongoing nursing home
crisis. It's free and all are welcome!? RSVP below to get the
link.
 Nancy Stevens
inspires many of us with her intense commitment to challenge and
change the long-term care nursing where she lives in
southern?California, and by her networking and advocacy?with Gray
Panthers and change agents around the country. Nancy will update us on
California and Congressional legislative campaigns and a new
initiative called "" ( Evaluating Innovation in
Nursing Homes to End Instiutionalization) from the , bringing together longtime
creative?visionaries in the field of long-term care.?
Nancy will interview?one
of her own inspirations,?Hollywood actress and
filmmaker, ?(video
link). Here's what Carter?writes about her soon-to-be-released
documentary?:
No Country for
Old People is a feature length documentary that pulls the
curtain back on the nursing? home/long-term care industry to reveal a
decades-old systemic crisis that has been enabled by the nation’s
pervasive ageism & ableism.
For over 50 years, care
for our most vulnerable has stealthily turned into a cutthroat world
of private? equity and real estate investment trust-backed nursing
homes. To put it bluntly: follow the money. There?is
a lot.
No Country for
Old People chronicles the last harrowing 6 months of my
mother’s life in a 5-star nursing? home in Los Angeles in 2022 and
features powerful testimonials from caregivers, residents, and
frontline providers [and] illuminating interviews from the most
respected experts on Medicare, Medicaid,? Hospice ... to understand
where, why, how these abuses happen, and what can be
done.??Unfortunately, my experience
is not at all unique. I am just one of the millions who had absolutely
no? idea how broken and corrupt the nursing home system truly is until
I attempted to navigate it.
Thanks for coming out this Wednesday; RSVP
below. Look for summer socials, more speakers, and follow-up?on the
Social Housing Movement. Keep in touch!??
