The IOG's Art of Aging Successfully conference is entering it's 10th successful year of extraordinary art displays and breakout sessions. In 2008, there were 441 seniors in attendance. Guest ranged in age from 50 to 97.

Art of Aging Successfully is not a craft show but a means of motivating all seniors to attempt creative expression as a way to communicate their life experiences. In addition to the display artists, an additional 60 older adults submitted prose, poetry or memoirs to the Creative Expressions booklet printed for each attendee.

Please come and join our 2009 conference, "Revitalize, Rejuvenate, Refresh" where Mildred Matlock, PhD will be the keynote speaker. There will be 6 wonderful breakout sessions that will be sure to spark an interest in you. As well as, Tai Chi, genealogy, volunteerism, emergency preparedness, healing touch and storytelling.
