A group of community volunteers are working to establish the Village Network of Petaluma as aRead More non-profit, community membership organization to enable adults over age 50 to live active, vibrant, and connected lives in our own homes as we age. Villages are member-driven, and primarily supported by fees from their members. Think relationships, collaboration, sharing, support in navigating systems, and peace of mind. The Village model is a way of life, not a place: "neighbors helping neighbors." It has been successful in almost 100 other communities in the U.S., and we are drawing from their experiences. Members call one number for resource referral, home visits and check-ins, medical advocacy, minor household repairs, social events, transportation, and opportunities to share one's special talents within the Village. The Petaluma group meets from noon to 1:30 on the third Wednesday of every month at the PEP Housing office, 951 Petaluma Blvd. South.
