Given the title “Guru Of Laughter” by one of America’s foremost Insurance Companies

Join me in welcoming Dr. Joyce Saltman on

A Humorous Look at Sex and Aging

Through a minimum of scientific data and a maximum of humor, this session will deal with the trials and tribulations of being a Senior! Combining research about this important topic for the “senior citizen” set (those of us who are old but not dead!), Joyce will show the beauty of having loving relationships rather than Olympic sex, how insignificant “perfect bodies” are (when our vision is not that good anyway!), and how to see all of our aging issues in a humorous light.
