Posted on by

What: “Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation” – virtual presentation by Daniel Arigoni, author and Managing Director for Policy and Solutions at National Housing Trust.

This talk will provide an overview of how and why climate change differently impacts older adults, and the range of solutions and strategies that can be deployed to reduce risk.

When: September 10, 2024 from 4:00 – 5:00 pm

It takes a village

Posted on by
Beth, Richard, and I want to express our appreciation for helping pull off such a successful event yesterday!  And, a huge thank you to all our neighbors who attended. It simply would not have happened without you.
  • Helene – you rallied your volunteer crew to distribute flyers off-cycle for the summer events, drawing RCP residents to the concert.
  • Ian, Erik, and Graham – your sign placement was impeccable ;).
  • Jennifer – your previous experience and availability to answer our questions along the way proved to be invaluable.
  • The team of Andrew, Don, George, Kip, Nick, Paul, and Todd – rumor has it that yours was the most efficient set up and breakdown in RCPNA history!
  • Hazel (Alyssa, Sean, and family) – your balloon animals were an absolute hit and there would probably still be a line for them if we had not stopped at 8:00pm! We love that we can say that we knew you before you were famous. Hopefully you’ll be willing to share your talents with us again.
  • And, a huge thank you to all of our RCP neighbors who attended.
Many thanks, all. RCPNA shines a bit more brightly because of you.

For those of you who weren’t able to make it, the lawn was full, attendees appeared to be happy and having a ball, and donations were generous. Keep an eye on the website for soon-to-be-uploaded photos taken by our own Treasurer and resident photographer, Richard.

On to the next summer gathering; we’ll see you at the ‘Movie in the Park’!
