Go to the VillageCore web site: villagecore.org and then click on NEWS along the top. To the right on the NEWS screen you will see the YouTube title Bills Speech. Click on it to hear what I had to say about the non-profit VillageCore concept that had earlier been presented and explained by its founders. Explore the site that is under development. There is real opportunity here to encourage and assist self-help in all communities at tremendous cost savings with greater speed and efficiency for our seniors, their families, and the government. Simultaneously, the VillageCore concept alleviates some of the common and most life threatening and health damaging issues and challenge for most seniors: loneliness, isolation, lack of access to senior advocacy services, a sense of uselessness, lack of purpose and helplessness.
