Bonnie with OGA Board Members

Many of you know about the groundbreaking work of Bonnie L. Vorenberg, the President of ArtAge Publications. Well, here at ArtAge, we are thrilled to announce that she was awarded the "Ageless Legacy Award for Excellence in Creative Aging" from the Oregon Gerontological Association. What a tribute.

When asked about the award, Board member and Immediate Past President Alan DeLaTorre said, "Bonnie has led the field of Creative Aging in Oregon. Her pioneering work has touched the lives of thousands of older Oregonians while inspiring others to contribute to the field. It's an honor to recognize Bonnie's lifelong achievements with this prestigious award and we look forward to her ongoing contributions."

Well, here at ArtAge, we're honored also!

Yours in theatre,

All of us at ArtAge

Wednesday, November 16 at 2PM, Pacific Time (3PM Mountain, 4PM Central, 5PM Eastern) If this time does not work for you, sign up to listen to the recording of the session.

The cost is only $10.

The session will address concerns about how to market, program, and conduct Senior Theatre classes. Attendees should have read "Teaching Senior Theatre Classes" so group members will have a similar understanding of the processes.
