While the Boston Red Sox disappointed us longtime baseball fans this season, we still had plenty to cheer about thanks to one of the best sports franchises around – the Pawtucket Red Sox.

Coalition’s conference will enrich lives

On the Senior Agenda by William F. Flynn, Jr.

The Senior Agenda Coalition’s 5th Annual Senior Conference and Expo will be held on Nov. 2 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick. The conference is designed primarily for seniors and their caregivers and relatives rather than for professionals, although they are also welcome. Thanks to our sponsors and exhibitors we are able to offer a subsidized registration fee of $25 for everyone age 65 and older. That includes a high quality continental breakfast and lunch. I believe our conference is the only daylong event of its kind in Rhode Island.

Message: Postcards can deliver big bucks

Today's Antiques by Scott Davis

Up till the advent of the Internet and camera phones, virtually everyone sent postcards as a quick way of sharing images and other information. They’ve been around since the 1840s in London and a few years later in the U.S. Postcards started out as an inexpensive way to send a brief message without the need for an envelope, but over time folks found many uses for them, including advertising, holiday greetings, invitations, and, of course, sharing travel experiences. Back in the day when taking pictures was a major production, postcards allowed folks to share professional images without having to lug and use their own camera equipment.

Boomer women face health care challenges

On the Inside by Kathleen S. Connell

AARP research reveals that Americans are woefully unaware and misinformed when it comes to understanding long-term care. That lack of education and information on long-term care planning and the sheer size of the aging boomer population (people born between 1946 and 1964) will put unprecedented strain on the existing, fragmented, long-term care system. While there is a grave need to improve awareness of long-term care planning among all boomers, women in particular face significant challenges with living independently as they age.

We are only a few weeks from the election, and it is gratifying to see how important seniors are to both parties. Before Election Day, there is still some important information I would like to share with you.
