Dear Friends, Supporters, and Members of Our Community, As we reflect on the past year at the Center for Modern Aging Princeton, we are struck by the transformative moments that have defined our journey. Fiscal Year 2024 marked the completion of our forty-ninth year in service, a period that ushered in new horizons, expanded possibilities, and bold innovations in how we support older adults.

This year, we embarked on exciting new dimensions in health and wellness programs, extending our focus on holistic wellbeing for older adults in mind, body, and spirit. With initiatives designed to foster physical health, cognitive resilience, and social connections, our programs have been reshaped to meet the evolving needs of our community, reflecting the latest in geriatric research and wellness innovation.

One of our proudest achievements has been the development of multi-lingual programming that builds deeper connections with Princeton’s richly diverse population. Our commitment to inclusivity is reflected in new offerings that engage older adults across language and cultural lines, creating a sense of belonging for all who join us—whether they are lifelong residents or new members of our community.

This year also saw the opening of Princeton Senior Living, our groundbreaking partnership with the municipality of Princeton and Conifer. Together, we have provided affordable housing options that make it possible for more older adults to remain in the town they love. The need for housing that promotes dignity, security, and community connection is more critical than ever, and we are thrilled to be part of the solution.

A major milestone this year has been our evolution into the Center for Modern Aging Princeton, a name that reflects not only our history but also our vision for the future. Along with our new look and website, we have renewed our identity as a world-class, innovative community center for older adults. We believe that aging is a stage of life filled with promise, opportunities for growth, and endless possibilities. Our website now highlights who we are and what we stand for — a vibrant, inclusive center that embraces the fullness of modern aging.

As we look ahead, we are filled with anticipation for what is to come. In September 2024, we will launch a year-long celebration of our fiftieth anniversary — a momentous milestone not just for our center, but for the entire community. The year ahead promises to be filled with special programming, events, and opportunities to celebrate the generations of people who have shaped and sustained us over the years.

We are grateful for the support and dedication of our members, partners, and supporters, who make our work possible. Together, we will continue to build a future that honors and uplifts older adults. We look forward to embarking on the next fifty years of innovation, inclusion, and community.

With gratitude and excitement,

Drew A. Dyson Chief Executive Officer

Joan Girgus Board Chair

Our vision is to be an indispensable community asset for older adults and their families as they navigate the journey of aging. CMAP envisions a world where older adults embrace aging and are valued for their wisdom, experience, and talent.

Embracing Change: The Evolution of Aging in Today’s Society

“Volunteering at the front desk of both CMAP locations has been a rewarding experience, and I hope my contributions have made a positive impact. I enjoy interacting with members as they arrive for the variety of classes we offer, checking them in and hearing about their experiences. It ’s uplifting to see their smiles and hear how much they appreciate the courses or enjoy catching up with friends over coffee in our lounge. I’m grateful for the staff ’s training, which enables me to answer calls, assist with course registration, and direct members to the right resources. The team at CMAP is consistently warm, professional, and supportive, creating an inviting environment for volunteers and members alike.”

For CMAP, as our mission statement emphasizes, our “why” is a commitment to empowering older adults fifty-five and above to thrive, not just survive, through a journey of active, healthy, and engaged living. We are dedicated to transforming the narrative of aging, a narrative that all too often has focused negatively on one’s decline in later life. We push back on this conventional view of aging as a period of decline to recognize later life as a chapter rich with potential growth, contribution, and fulfillment. This perspective shift is crucial for older adults navigating the complexities of modern aging, as it focuses on opportunities that this life stage offers for continued development, connection, and purpose.

A COMMUNITY ANCHORED IN PURPOSE CMAP’s mission serves as a beacon, not only for our organization but also for individuals seeking to rediscover or define their “why” in their retirement years. We strive to provide a supportive and vibrant community where older adults are encouraged to explore and engage in activities that align with their personal values and passions. By doing so, CMAP ensures that aging becomes not simply a matter of decline, of adding years to our lives, but more importantly, adding life to our years!

Vital Human Connections. At the core of finding one’s “why” is the human need for connection. CMAP fosters an environment where older adults can forge meaningful relationships, combatting the isolation that so often accompanies growing older.

These human connections are vital, offering opportunities to share stories, learn from each other, and build a supportive network that values each individual’s unique journey.

Compassionate Social Services. Understanding and addressing the challenges we encounter in our later years requires compassion and guidance. Our social services, from our inception in 1974, are designed to support older adults and their families as they navigate these challenges, providing the resources and assistance needed to make informed decisions

about health, living arrangements, caregiving, and so much more. This supportive approach enables older adults to focus on their “why,” knowing that their practical concerns are being managed with care and expertise.

Dynamic Lifelong Learning. Lifelong learning is a key component to living one’s “why.” CMAP offers a diverse array of programs that cater to one’s intellectual, creative, and personal growth.

From our renowned Evergreen Forum to technology workshops, from art classes to health seminars, and so much more, we seek to encourage older adults to continue exploring their interests, acquiring new skills, and engaging with the world in meaningful ways.

Meaningful Volunteer Opportunities. Volunteering is also a powerful avenue for expressing one’s “why.” Through our volunteer opportunities, which will be expanding in the near future, we seek to provide a platform for older adults to give back, leveraging their wealth of knowledge, experience, and talents. Whether it’s mentoring the younger generation through GrandPals or Seniors-forSeniors, leading community projects, or participating in civic engagement, we seek to harness the collective power of older adults in our community and enable them to “give back” in ways that resonate with their values and passions.

“As a member and volunteer at Center for Modern Aging Princeton, I have grown in many ways. Since retiring from twenty-seven years as the graduate student administrator in the Princeton Physics Department, this new experience has been very fulfilling. Firstly, I have been a GrandPal for four years, and each year has been enriching with each new fiveyear-old whom I’ve come to know. Another activity which I have enjoyed is Seniors for Seniors during which I have bonded with four high school seniors and learned that the generations are not as different as it seemed. I am still in touch with two of them and I consider them friends.

Sitting at the desk two mornings each week is something I look forward to every week. I answer phones, process McCaffrey’s receipts, and take attendance when class members arrive.

However, what is most enriching for me is getting to know all staff members who are warm, appreciative, kind, and fun. I observe so much activity in growing the organization through classes, new activities, resources for populations who are in need of affordable housing, information on caring for patients with disabilities, such as dementia, etc. I observe outreach with the community, assistance in technology, and just welcoming folks who walk in for information.”

Revolutionizing Aging: Modern Approaches to Health and Wellness

Our ambition at the Center for Modern Aging Princeton (CMAP) extends beyond simply providing programs and services; we aspire to cultivate a community, and a world, where aging is synonymous with growth, wisdom, and opportunity. We dream of a world where older adults are empowered to embrace their stage of life, contributing their invaluable experience, wisdom, and talents in meaningful ways.

A VISION OF EMPOWERMENT AND RESPECT At the heart of our philosophy is a profound respect for the journey of aging. We believe in a society where older adults are not just respected but are seen as integral to the fabric of our community, bringing a diverse range of skills, insights, and perspectives that enrich all our lives. By fostering an environment of support and understanding, we aim to ensure that the process of aging is one of empowerment, where older adults feel valued and engaged at every stage.

CULTIVATING WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE Wisdom and experience are among the most significant gifts that come with age. These are not merely the accumulation of years but the embodiment of lives lived, challenges overcome, and joys celebrated. At CMAP, we are dedicated to creating platforms, such as the Evergreen Forum, where this wisdom can be shared and celebrated, where the stories of our constituents serve as guidance and inspiration for generations to come.

VALUING TALENT AND ENCOURAGEMENT Our community’s talent pool is immensely enriched by the contributions of our older adults. CMAP is committed to unlocking this potential, offering opportunities for older adults to mentor, volunteer, and engage in activities (such as GrandPals or Seniors-for-Seniors) that not only bring joy to their lives but also make a tangible difference in the community. From the arts to education, from leadership to service, we champion the involvement of older adults in a broad spectrum of roles that reflect their passions and expertise.

A PARTNERSHIP FOR THE FUTURE Achieving our vision for a world where older adults are embraced and valued is a collective endeavor. It calls for the engagement of families, businesses, educational entities, and the wider community in a shared commitment to reshape how we view and experience aging. CMAP invites all of our stakeholders and friends to come together in this mission, forging partnerships that enhance the well-being of the older members of our community and, by extension, our community as a whole.

FORWARD TOGETHER Our vision at CMAP is bold, but it is within reach. Through collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to valuing the contributions of older adults, we can create a future where aging is not only embraced but celebrated as a phase of life rich with opportunities for growth, contribution, and fulfillment.

“The inner gratification from using your time to be of service to others is both rewarding to the giver and to the receiver.”

“I consider myself a major beneficiary of the computer tech lab run by Don Benjamin, Nick Macy, and Alexander Randall V. All three of them are courteous, professional, patient, and competent in the use of the computer and welcoming to the lab. I am obliged to say that I am grateful to them all for the help.”

JOY IN THE JOURNEY OF AGING Joy is a vital part of the aging journey, and at CMAP, we make it a priority to infuse happiness and positivity into our programs and interactions. From cultural outings and educational seminars to recreation activities and social gatherings, we create opportunities for laughter, enjoyment, and the celebration of life’s simple pleasures.

INNOVATION FOR TOMORROW Innovation drives us forward. CMAP is committed to exploring new ideas, technologies, and approaches to support aging adults. Whether it’s through cutting-edge technology, creative programming, or an expanding array of services, we are always looking for ways to improve the quality of life for our community members.

LIVING WITH PURPOSE Purpose fuels our mission. We believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute, regardless of age. CMAP provides avenues for older adults to find and fulfill their purposes, whether through volunteerism, mentorship, advocacy, or creative expression, enriching not only their lives but also the community at large.

As a vibrant community nonprofit, we are dedicated to responsibly managing the resources entrusted to us, ensuring that we can continue to support and enrich the lives of older adults for generations to come. Our commitment to financial sustainability, ethical and transparent practices, and the long-term well-being of our community guides every decision we make.

“As a CMAP/PSRC attendee for more than seventeen years, the ability to interact with people in a similar life situation via virtual programs has become more and more important.”

Redefining Aging:

CMAP Participants Share How Modern Perspectives are Shaping Their Golden Years

“I have participated in a broad range of activities offered at CMAP. Among them are ping pong, pickleball, Every Body Walk!, bird walk, Tai Chi, line dancing, art workshops, and educational and awareness sessions on various topics such as the New Jersey Stay-At-Home Tax Reduction.

I have found that the people who attend each of these programs vary quite a bit and because of that I have gotten to meet a range of people over time. So besides participating in these activities, I have gotten a chance to meet new people with every program I attend and to broaden my social network. It ’s networking and engagement for this new chapter of my life and CMAP is a superb place that facilitates it.

“I have been enrolled in the Café Français class for the last year.

I was hesitant at first to enroll, since my French was not very fluent.

But I wanted to get more comfortable speaking. The class is one of the highlights of my week. Jocelyn, the leader, makes everyone feel welcome and at ease.

It is a safe supportive space where everyone can speak on a topic, maybe share some knowledge or interest, and find things to laugh about, while trying your best to speak French. I look forward to it each week.”

I have found myself looking to CMAP programs as the goto resource when I am looking into a specific activity. This is because of its wide range of offerings and my good past experiences with all of them.

CMAP has programs and resources that have helped me maintain and improve my physical, mental, social, and financial fitness.”

“Over the years, I have visited a few of the senior centers when I needed to. The reception given to me was lack luster at best, which is why I only visit them when absolutely necessary. Friendliness was a concept that appeared to evade these institutions.

One time, my need was to find an accountant who would be willing to donate their services to a senior citizen. This wouldn’t be anything complicated, but there were two questions that I needed answers to. With their usual harsh facial expression, I was given a two-inch piece of paper with a number to call for the accountant. The accountant ’s response was that they charged $350 per hour, just to answer two quick questions. To me, it was another dead end.

To say that I was pleasantly surprised to find CMAP was a definite understatement. I encourage all seniors in the area visit this wonderful organization and meet some of the most helpful, friendly people on the planet.”

New Horizons for CMAP: Exploring Opportunities for a Vibrant Life Fiscal year 2024 marked a significant milestone in the journey of the Princeton Senior Resource Center. As of January, our beloved center began doing business as (DBA) Center for Modern Aging Princeton.

This new name reflects our commitment to embracing the dynamic, diverse, and ever-evolving needs of our aging community. It’s not just a change of name; it’s a renewal of our promise to provide innovative, inclusive, and forward-thinking services.

REIMAGINING AGING For years, society has had its vision of how older adults should think, act, dress, eat, walk, talk — and live. And we’ve had ours.

We know they’re looking for more than just crafts, crossword puzzles, and rocking chairs.

We know they want to make new memories, not just relive old ones.

We know they’re not afraid to go out of their comfort zone. They love to try new foods, learn about other cultures, and embrace technology.

We know they don’t like to lose. In fact, they can be pretty competitive. Just ask our champion table tennis team!

We know they like to travel to new places—both physically and virtually.

We know they value their independence – and want support to “age-in-place,” in whatever form is most appropriate for them.

Center for Modern Aging Princeton

And most of all we know today’s older population isn’t like previous generations of “seniors.” (Oh, and we also know most aren’t fond of being called seniors) How do we know so much about what this population likes?

It’s pretty simple, actually. We listen.

We’ve been serving the older adult community throughout the region for five decades. As their needs have evolved, our organization has as well. Our new name, facility, look, and vision reflect the way we see older adults and, more importantly, the way they see themselves. Energized. Bold. Modern.

Welcome to a new generation of aging. And welcome to the Center for Modern Aging Princeton!

We are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support and enthusiasm. Together, we will continue to build on our legacy and live out our mission to help older adults thrive. Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here’s to new beginnings and continued success at the Center for Modern Aging Princeton!

“I’m really excited to start attending events here!

I like the name — it feels welcoming and full of possibility. I wasn’t actively looking for or even ready to join a senior center, but this seems like so much more than that. It feels like a place where I can connect, learn, and truly enjoy new experiences.”

New Horizons in Affordable Housing

In February, at the opening reception for “Princeton Senior Living” (PSL) at 500 Thanet Circle in Princeton, local elected officials, representatives of area nonprofits, and members of the local community had a chance to tour the new apartment complex and meet with management, who shared details about how quickly the new units are being filled.

PSL was constructed on a site that was formerly a derelict office complex. It is operated by Conifer, a Rochester, NY-based company that operates 210 apartment communities in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The new development features eighty apartments, which are a mixture of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. It was built to meet Princeton’s statemandated affordable housing obligation, which required the town to build hundreds of new affordable units.

The launch event was attended by Princeton Mayor Mark Freda, Council President Mia Sacks, and Council Member Eve Niedergang. Mr. Freda called it “a great property, a great opportunity for seniors in our community”. Ms. Sacks noted that it is a challenge for many seniors to find an affordable place to live in Princeton and hoped that the new apartment development would make that easier.

Also present at the event was Drew Dyson, who explained how the Center for Modern Aging would provide social services and activities at the Princeton Senior Living site. They will have staff on-site several days a week and will help organize activities to ensure that residents have a chance to be fully integrated into the Princeton community. Their staff will also provide caregiver support, assistance with benefits applications, and a “Home Friends” program, where volunteers will visit with the apartment residents.

Center for Modern Aging Princeton

The eighty units of affordable senior housing at Princeton Senior Living add to eleven additional affordable units at Avalon Princeton Circle, which includes several units for people with special needs. The Thanet Road site therefore provides ninetyone units of affordable housing, making it the biggest single contributor to the town’s state-mandated affordable housing requirement. By prioritizing a large affordable apartment development for seniors, the town also reduced the number of new families with school-age children who might move to Princeton as part of its affordable housing settlement.

“Thank you for your help and extensive knowledge of affordable housing. Your assistance in completing my application and walking me through the process has made my relocation seamless.”

“My husband Tom and I love everything about CMAP; the activities, classes, the talented staff, connections and friendships made and trips. Our retirement would not be as half as interesting, meaningful, and joyful without CMAP. We are also so thankful that the CMAP locations are conveniently located. The Poor Farm location classrooms are state of the art. The lounge on the first floor is so inviting, with the fireplace and comfortable furniture. The outside area is lovely being surrounded by nature. It is also nice to know that we can drop into the center if we are ever feeling out of touch or lonely. During the week, we can sit in the lounge inside or sit in the outside nature seating area.

SPRING EVENT SPONSORS & ADVERTISERS

We cannot wait to sign up for Evergreen Forum classes this semester. I have been taking the ‘Science in the News’ course for several semesters now and the classes are first rate, taught by gifted teachers.

Maurice and Iona Harding Norman R. Klath Barbara Lawrence Lance and LaTonya Liverman Mercadien NJM Princeton Eye Group Princeton Radiology Associates Target Rock Wealth Management Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the gifts listed in the 2023–2024 Annual Report. Please notify the development office at 609.751.9699, or ladler@princetonsenior.org if you notice any discrepancies or have any questions.

Everyone assigned to the front desk over the years are very friendly, but also professional and helpful.

We have contacted the CMAP Tech Lab from time to time and their staff has been very helpful, they create an atmosphere of trust. They all put you at ease since computer problems, especially for some seniors like me, computers create a lot of anxiety for us.

My husband Tom and I enjoy the ‘Transition to Retirement ’ monthly group and the facilitator, Paul Knight is wonderful. The participants are engaging, friendly, helpful, and fun to be with.

In addition, if we ever had a conundrum concerning our retirement lives, we would not hesitate to come to CMAP staff to ask for help and advice, knowing how knowledgeable, caring and respectful they are.”

For all these reasons and more, we choose to support CMAP financially and we invite you to join us.”

—Denise and Tom M.
