P R O G R A M
SPEAKER – GARY LINKER
Gary Linker moved to Santa Barbara in 1972. He is the current Clinical Director of the Center for Successful Aging and also an active member of the community. He has a great philosophy emphasizing that it is not easy being a senior. But with aging, a new level of maturity can be achieved and most importantly should bring “Inner Peace”. When we’re young we plant seeds and throughout our lives we water those seeds and eventually we harvest our seeds. We need to take time and see what we’ve harvest with our accomplishments and the impact we have made.
The Center for Successful Aging helps seniors in our community age with dignity and care. The following are some of their programs:
- Hot meal delivery
- Support group sessions
- Peer group sessions
- Daily check-in calls
With a compassionate ear and a helpful hand, our senior peer counseling and support programs help seniors who are feeling lonely or isolated, who need support in handling loss or challenging situations, and who are looking for guidance in finding the right resources. Their contact number is (805) 898-8080.
President de Mangeon reminds us that our next meeting will be on February 16 via ZOOM. We won’t have an in-person meeting until Dr. Steve Young feels it is safe! A board of directors meeting is also scheduled for February 9th.
