MVES and Reading Elder Services to Sponsor Event for Baby Boomers

Thinking of retirement? Already retired and want to get more out of it? Life coach Meg Newhouse will present a workshop called Passion and Purpose: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life on June 3. An educator and career consultant for 30 years, Newhouse will speak at the Reading Library at 6:30 p.m. Local residents 50 years and older are invited to the event that is sponsored by Mystic Valley Elder Services and Reading Elder Services.

Newhouse will discuss the “3rd age,” the period of extended middle age and active elderhood that starts at age 50. A former assistant director for Harvard University’s Office of Career Services, Newhouse will help audience members to rethink the term “retirement” and its connotations of withdrawal from life and work. She will address the challenges and opportunities of the “3rd age,” and invite the audience to do exercises that get people thinking about their passion and purpose. A discussion will follow and refreshments will be served.

“Meg Newhouse is an expert on how people can best express their unique gifts in this stage of their lives,” said Jennifer Vanasse, MVES’ director of development. “I think Baby Boomers will find her presentation both enjoyable and useful.”

Space for the event is limited. Please call the Reading Senior Center at 781-942-9056 to reserve your seat today.
