Thank you!

Many thanks to Center 50+, Salem Health Foundations, and AARP Oregon for asking us to perform in support of Ageism Exists, a conversation about a future where growing older is welcomed, valued and understood. As a Q+, Elders and Allies choir, members of Portland Sage Singers were honored to perform music at this event that celebrates the wisdom and lived experience that comes with age. We're not counting the years. We're making the years count.

Thank you AARP Oregon. Did you know that in Oregon there are more individual age 65 and older than children 18 and under? The first time in all history.
