Women Sharing Wisdom:   provides women with a safe place to share, explore possibilities, and find creative solutions to the difficulties of aging. Women face a variety of challenges as they move into their older decades. Many feel isolated and lack a place to have meaningful discussions and receive support for the issues they face.

 The discussion group is facilitated by Linda Weldon, and meetings are held at Women’s Resource Center on the 2nd Thursdays of each month from 2:00-3:15 pm.

For more information call the Center at 828.322.6333
