NDSU Extension and SDSU Extension will host a free online Aging Well Workshop about elder law and estate planning on March 19 at 10:00 a.m. CDT (9:00 a.m. MT).
Aging well is a high priority for many older people and their families. They want to learn what they need to have a high quality of life when they grow older. NDSU Extension and SDSU Extension are collaborating to offer Aging Well Workshops, so individuals and families can learn about important topics related to aging. This series includes three workshops offered in January, February, and March. These workshops are hosted via Zoom, so anyone with technology and internet access can participate. To reach those who do not have technology and internet, organizations are being recruited to host watch parties. Watch party hosts will register with Leacey or Jane. The workshops will be recorded and posted online until June 30, 2025.
