Colorado is ranked one of the most desirable locations to retire and Northern Colorado has some of the most active retirees. The conundrum for those starting a new phase of their life is figuring out where this journey will take them and what resources are available.
Volunteers of America SeniorCorps/RSVP, Poudre River Library District, and AARP are sponsoring a three series program (Winter, Spring, Fall) that explores life enhancing options for the retired/almost retired population. This series is a great jumpstart for those still in the workforce.
