Free Seminar Makes Downsizing Easier
September 30, 2013Moving from a larger to a smaller home can seem like a formidable, even impossible challenge for many homeowners, especially those who choose to go it alone. This seminar provides helpful tips and advice from senior move manager Mariluz Flanders for anyone planning to downsize. She’ll be part of an informative session entitled “Downsizing – It’s Not That Impossible.” This panel presentation and discussion will be held Friday, Oct. 11 from 11 a.m. to noon in the Woodside Building at Taylor Community, 435 Union Ave. The event is free and open to the public.
Many seniors have lived in their home for years, even decades, during which time they’ve accumulated a lot of personal possessions. Paul Charlton – who works with seniors planning their move to Taylor Community – notes it can be overwhelming for many. “I talk with people who are really excited to move. Then they go home and become paralyzed when they look at all the stuff in their closets, attics, sheds and basements. That’s where the advice of senior move managers can help; they do this for a living and their help is invaluable.”
Alan Robichaud, the community development director from Granite United Way, will talk about options for where people can donate unwanted items. Current Taylor residents are also going to be on hand to share their downsizing experiences.
To reserve your place at the seminar, please call Taylor Community at 524-5600, Monday-Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., or email rsvp@taylorcommunity.org.
