Any SAGE members in Brooklyn, NY ?

Saw a very interesting program on Channel 7 over the weekend with SAGE as part of the discussion.

Just wondering if any of our members take part or is it just easier to go on line for info ?

Can anyone decipher what the hell these questions are about? There’s SAGE. Boston is mentioned. And there’s a channel 7. How are all these things connected? ?

Great to hear the news! SAGE offers many services and opportunities.

The Gay and Lesbian Center on 13th St also offers a lot of different options, but checking their website, I did not see any offerings for senior gays.
