The Geezer Forum
A monthly series in the Coeur d’Alene Press’s Senior Sentinel
The Geezer Forum CdA is an opportunity to explore topics of interest to seniors and learn about different community resources available in the Coeur d'Alene area. The meetings feature educational topics, rather than being sales focused. In addition, the Forum is a way for seniors to share their wisdom as well as keep connected with each other and the community. Join us on the adventure through monthly articles and learn about upcoming events as featured in the monthly Senior Sentinel section of the Coeur d’Alene Press.
