Navigating Solo News, Volume 2 Issue 7, October 2023
2nd Anniversary Edition!

Who is a Solo Ager?
An adult 55+ who, because of choice or circumstance,
is without the support of adult children or close family members.

Dear Subscriber First Name,

Welcome to the October issue of Navigating Solo News, the Navigating Solo Network’s monthly newsletter.

This month’s issue celebrates our 2nd anniversary and offers links for upcoming events relevant to solo agers.

Over the last 2 years, visibility has significantly increased regarding the unique needs and concerns of navigating aging solo since the site was launched.

NavigatingSolo.com was created in October 2021 to be a clearinghouse for reliable information and resources for solo agers. Please visit the Navigating Solo Network website and view the various existing resources and events. Share this newsletter and website with others!

It is my hope that this national website and network will continue to grow, include the voices of many solo aging advocates, share individual stories of those navigating solo, connect solos to each other, and offer ideas and solutions for the many aspects of a compiling and implementing a navigating solo plan!

Take a look around the site and you will see how the path to dynamic solo aging starts here!™
