Tell me a Story: Sharing Memorable Moments
We all have stories—and sometimes the simplest object can unlock a wonderful memory. Join us for a lively, relaxed gathering where objects become invitations to remember, reflect, and share.

The Programs Working Group's offerings intend to engage and educate AWN members in topics relevant to older adults in our community. If you have suggestions for a topic, or especially if you would like to help plan or produce a program, contact Gil Herman, gilherman1949@gmail.com.

Arbor West Neighbors
Arbor West Neighbors (AWN) is a grassroots organization of neighbors in Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park and Austin connected to support and enrich aging through community building and advocacy. Our mission is to empower adults to thrive as we age in community.
Our vision is to build a multi-ethnic, multicultural community where all older adults are valued, age with dignity, and enjoy opportunities for growth and engagement.
We are an all-volunteer 501(c)3 organization with over 120 members.
