Catherine Jones, a Marin member, suggests visiting a comprehensive guide to housing and mortgages for seniors.

It's located at http://www.mortgageloan.com/seniors/ and covers the housing options available to seniors etc.

 

The Gray Panthers is an organization for seniors so we need to be visible and we need to recruit new members.  Also, it really is a lot of fun!
