Save the date and come to the Marseilles Residence's community room at 230 W. 103rd Street on Thursday, May 15th, at 7 p.m., to learn all about conducting oral histories.  This is a Bloomingdale Aging in Place panel for folks of all ages.  Special presenters will be Erica Fugger and William Chapman of the Center for Oral History at Columbia University,* who will give a brief history of the form plus tips and methodologies for conducting interviews.

B
ring your kids or grandkids if they are interested in your family genealogy.  Oral history is a great way to dig into stories that, sadly, don't always outlive our families.  Or oral histories may serve to preserve a community's collective memory.

This panel is one of many offered completely free of charge by Bloomingdale Aging in Place (BAiP).  In addition to its panel program, BAiP offers a helping hand to seniors in our neighborhood.  But did you know that neighbors of any age can do something with BAiP almost every day of the week?  It's true.  Walk, cycle, read, sew, juggle, paint and get together with neighbors at various outings, coffees and happy hours.  BAiP has over 400 meet ups each year!  Check out the many, many activities offered by BAiP for adults of all ages in our community.

To receive information directly from BAiP, join the mailing list here.


As a volunteer for both the Block Association and BAiP, I can honestly say that these two organizations are what makes living in Bloomingdale so wonderful.
