One of our annual service projects is a Seniors Day. We present an informative topic of issue to seniors, have discussion, feed them and then have a fashion show of snazzy outfits for seniors.
Our most popular ones have been the ones where we show a video and talk about HIV/AIDS among seniors. I say most popular, because they generate the most discussion. I mean the seniors are feisty about admitting that they still have sex. We provided free testing for those who wanted it and almost ALL of them do--men and women (the exceptions usually being the ones that have been married for jumpteen years--the rest are widows and widowers, so....) We do one in Mpls and one in St. Paul and senior independent living complexes.
When we first started the program maybe ten would come down to the community room for the program. Word has spread and now we get almost 100 percent partipation at each location as well as them telling their friends who don't live there to come.
