ELDERS on [log in to unmask]
or LISTSERV@SJUVM
An Elders list has been set up at St Johns University in New York
developed for the creation of projects, for discussion of social and
political issues, finding new friends and for elders to act as
electronic grandparents and elder mentors.
St Johns University is the home of a series of lists devoted to
education for everyone. An ever increasing library has been built on
many topics on St Johns' gopher.
Our membership consists of elders - those over 55 years of age - from
a wide range of backgrounds, but with a common purpose - a place
where knowledgeable people can reach others and where anyone with
questions can write for relevant information.
Resources
Elder Centre
An Elder Centre is in the process of development on a
Unibase system at St Johns where anyone can search the
library, use as a post office, lecture hall or chat
area.
Gopher
A Resource Centre for elders is being developed on a
gopher where information on organisations, agencies,
etc will be stored and retrieved.
