St. Croix Council of Elders Hosts Community Brunch: Fellowship, Food and Sharing The Wisdom

The St. Croix Council of Elders (COE) is hosting an event on Sunday, June 23, to expand awareness around elderhood and promote membership. All adult generations in the community are invited.

Council members have held the community brunch once before over the years and plan to make this an annual event.

“Our community brunch is a welcoming, informal gathering with a reminder that elderhood is not about your age and that membership on the Council is multigenerational,” noted Iya Tahirah Abubakr, COE member and co-founder.

The council members are planning for an interactive conversation to focus on answering questions about what it means to be an elder and the roles of elders and COEs in the community. “We’re looking forward to a lively and informative discussion for the attendees and for us. Intergenerational communication is key for all of us and for our future,” said COE member Sara Hayes.
