Mastering Aging – New 50+ Expo
Saturday,

Howard Community College

This is a newly formatted event. It will be a conference-style with seminars, exhibitors and entertainment for the 50+ community in three buildings on the campus of Howard Community College (HCC).

Ride Match Portal Update

Our goal with the new Portal is to send fewer ride requests since all drivers can now log in and pick their rides easily.

As we are all adjusting to the new system, we apologize to any driver who might be receiving duplicate or too many ride requests.  We are working to rectify this issue.

Thanks for your patience.

Seats Still Available for the Conversation Starter Work Shop on Living Wills
