Laugh Lines: Storytelling Event & Workshop

To bring this national campaign to life on the local level, HHS ACL is bringing Laugh Lines: A Storytelling Event about the Experience of Getting Older to Chicago on June 25th from 1 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. It will bring together the Windy City’s active population of older adults to entertain them in an afternoon of humorous and authentic stories about growing older and inform them about actions they can take to help maintain their brain health and age well.
