It has been a busy week for me/KIRC:
Making new connections with like-minded visionaries within the caregiving space.
Attending an AARP Volunteer event - LOTS of powerful programs slated for 2026!
Prepping for the January, 2026 ‘Let’s Talk Caregiving’ virtual program (Date TBA).
*If you find any piece of the vast amount of content in the KIRC archives informative, helpful, valuable, or otherwise - I invite you to consider supporting this effort by upgrading to a paid subscription. KIRC is a one-woman effort - not funded by any agency or grant operations. Just me - a former broadcast journalist, turned family caregiver, with lived experience of navigating the CARE journey.
There are many little nuggets I want to share in the coming days, so keep an eye on your in-boxes. I’ll keep it in bite-sized pieces, too!
Until next time~
