On Friday, March 1, at Noon, in the
Presidents Hall of the Union League Club
The First Friday Club of Chicago in Cooperation with
the Authors Group (Union League Club)
Welcomes
Ms. Joy Loverde
Author: Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old? and
The Complete Eldercare Planner
Who will address the topic:
“Caring for Aging Parents and Loved Ones while Planning for Your Future Self - Are You Ready?”
The Baby Boom Generation has become the new senior citizen generation, with more than 6000 Americans turning 65 every day. At the same time more and more people are living into their 90s. This data presents us with two fears: the fear of dying and the fear of living too long.
Many of us might become--if we aren’t already--the caregivers for grandparents, parents, spouses, siblings, and beloved friends. Without careful planning, that role as caregiver can put our own physical, emotional, financial, housing, and legal needs at risk.
But wait--what about you and me, especially if we have no children or others to rely on as we grow older? Joy Loverde points to the increasing percentage of the middle-aged and Baby Boomers who are aging solo: the never married, separated, divorced, and widowed. Given this reality, the number one question we all need to ask ourselves is, “Who will take care of me and be my advocate when I’m old?”
Please make plans to attend the March 1st gathering of the First Friday Club. We have invited Joy Loverde to explain this two-sided issue of the current “longevity revolution,” and to help us learn how to plan for a quality old age.
The event begins with an 11:30 a.m. reception followed by lunch and the program at noon to 1:15pm. Books for signing will be available for purchase at the event. The luncheon starts at Noon and ends promptly at 1:15pm.
IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB, KINDLY MAKE YOUR RESERVATION VIA THE UNION LEAGUE.
