So, you are a Conservative in Montgomery County. Let me guess...you carpool with libs, work with libs, shop with libs, argue with libs. Do you always seem to be the token Conservative when you go out? Wouldn't it be great to have a group of people in their "right" mind to network and socialize with? We have all become activists this year, haven't we? But all those meetings and rallies, they're all business. Not a lot of time for conversation or telling l!beral jokes.

Do you listen to new bands but feel too old to go to their shows? Or, do you tend to go but feel weird about being the oldest person there?  There are lots of great shows coming to town and there is NO LAW against grayhairs going to live new music.

Eight Year ago, I noticed my mother had changed emotionally and physically. I was not sure why but observe she needed additional care - that began my journey as the primary caregiver of my now 86 year old mother with Parkinson and Memory challenges. Had I known of a network of other CGers - I believe I could have accomplished so much more for her. So, out of a need to have us all share and part take of "CGers" best practices - this meetup was formed. Taken from the phase - I am having a senior m …
