ADVISORS • INSURANCE • NETWORK

Thank you for relying on the Georgia ElderCare Network and the many resources that our statewide alliance of professionals provides to help families plan for and deal with the issues of aging.

Our Network’s website, www.GeorgiaElderCareNetwork.com, received more than 15,000 visitors during 2007, and thousands of you each month have used the resources provided by the members of the Georgia ElderCare Network, including:

• Our monthly Georgia ElderCare® Symposium. An educational/networking forum held on the last Friday of each month, with presentations by some of Georgia’s leading experts in the field of ElderCare.

• Our monthly Georgia Eldercare® Radio podcast. A concise, useful source of ElderCare information provided via interviews with members of the Georgia ElderCare Network.

• Our monthly Georgia ElderCare® Bulletin. The Georgia ElderCare Network’s e-newsletter, currently sent to 5,000+ Georgia families and professionals, keeps you "up-to-date" on the many services our Network members provide.

• Our semi-annual magazine ElderCare Matters®. The Georgia ElderCare Network's widely distributed FREE publication that contains substantive, useful articles about the issues of aging.

In 2008, we will add yet another resource for Georgia families, a website that will serve as a central repository for all ElderCare Matters® articles that are published in the Network’s semi-annual magazine. Soon, with ElderCareMatters.com, Georgia families will have easy access via the internet to these wonderfully written articles by some of Georgia's leading experts in ElderCare.

Additionally, I and the other members of the Georgia ElderCare Network wish for you and your family a wonderful holiday season and a safe & prosperous new year, and we would welcome the opportunity to help you plan for and deal with your family’s issues of aging. Let us know if we can be of assistance.
