What’s happening?

At Montgomery Place, if you don’t see something that interests you, you create it yourself. It’s in that spirit that the men and women who live here came together to create In It Together: Making A Retirement Community, a compendium of stories and practical advice about retirement.

Here are more examples of the imaginative and unusual things the energetic and resourceful people of this community are doing right now. There’s a good chance that more are being created as you read this list.
