Dear Friends: 
  
Welcome to Institute on Aging's newsletter for professionals in the field of aging. Thank you to all who took our education survey, and congratulations to Sara P. who won the Trader Joe's gift certificate.  
 
Our Capacity Conference in September was a wonderful success, thanks to our top notch presenters and outstanding attendance. We are hard at work planning the educational opportunites for 2010 and will be unveiling the program title later this Autumn.
 
Thank you to our underwriting co-sponsors: Northern California Geriatric Education Center, California Pacific Medical Center, AgeSong and Wells Fargo. And a special thank you to our co-sponsoring organizations. 
  
All Our Best,
