There is no lower-age attendance criteria; members simply self-select. Existing members declare that “The purpose and mission of the UUCB Senior Salon is to openly, respectfully and lovingly share among ourselves, relevant stories, and information about facing and thriving in the later stages of life.”
Senior Salon also meets (via Zoom) on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month. from 10:00 – 11:00 am. (See the most recent Messenger for the link) It is very informal, with a chalice lighting and reading thrown in, just to remind us we are UUs.
