We’re Not Getting Any Younger: Clutter and Aging (Meetup)

June 26, 2014, 7:00 PM–8:30 PM CDT

Nature Discovery Center 7112 Newcastle St., Bellaire, TX, United States

As we age, many of us find our clutter problems becoming more complicated by the urgent needs of elderly parents or loved ones, our desire to share mementos and family history with the next generations, our own physical limitations, and many other factors.

For the June meeting of the Houston Clutter Coaching Meetup Group, we’ll explore clutter-related issues that arise with aging. We’ll suggest strategies that you and your family can adopt to ease the burden of future clutter.
