Our Next Event:
Margaret Barrett, Founder, Owner, and Attorney of the Safe Harbor Law Office will give all attendees practical information on understanding this useful tool. This is a must educational presentation for all MASWA members and senior housing, care, and services professionals. Bet says, you never heard of this useful tool. Or if you have, you know very little about it. Planning on being at the next Minneapolis Area Senior Workers Association meeting to add this information to your consultive arsenal.
NOTE: this month we will be meeting upstairs in the large center room, #205 instead of the Gathering Space where we usually meet.
