Second Meeting of the SENS Los Angeles Chapter on August 27th
Not so long ago, the SENS Foundation folk kicked off efforts to organize a Los Angeles chapter of supporters. The Foundation has a great many supporters and some significant donors in the Bay Area, so it seems only fair that the other half of California has a chance to show their worth.
The second chapter meeting will be held later this month; if you're in the area, you should drop by:
On behalf of SENS Foundation I am excited to write to you to invite you to join us for our 2nd SENS Foundation L.A. Chapter meeting to be held on Friday, August 27th, at the Westwood Brewing Company (1097 Glendon Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90024-2907) from 6PM until we have had enough fun.In this second meeting we will be joined by the fabulous Dr. Sarah Marr (SENS Foundation Vice President)... and, of course, me! ;-) Sarah is going to take this opportunity to tell you a little more about SENS Foundation's Mission, and the ways in which it is working to communicate that mission. Our hope is that we'll be able to empower all the members of the chapter to work with us in promoting the Foundation effectively.
We will also talk about generalized outreach, the Foundation's structure, volunteering, fund raising and more, giving you the chance to connect more closely to us. Also, we'll discuss our plans for future chapter meetings -- making them relate to both the Foundation and the wider research environment in which it works -- and our ideas for bringing in outside speakers.
All of this in a visually interesting, fun and accessible way, and we will of course again have a full bar available for general networking, schmoozing, chit-chatting, gossiping, confabulating, and all of the above. The idea of these local gatherings is to create a local initiative to promote the Foundation's interests and mission by engaging a network of enthusiasts, field professionals, potential donors, sponsors, collaborators, students, etc. Also, to promote educational efforts in the area, and to reach out to the Hollywood community and gain their support.
Please RSVP.
We hope you will come and join us! And as Aubrey says, "Cheers!"

Many hands make light work, and there's certainly a lot left to accomplish between here and the advent of real, working rejuvenation medicine based on the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence research and development outline.
