Series, chaired by Katherine Harris, Lee Peterson, and Margaret Wise kicks off this year around the pool at the waterfront home of longtime Asolo supporter and former board chair, Stanley Kane.

The always supportive Matthew Bower and PNC Wealth Management is a series sponsor. Hmmm, the Wit and Wisdom of Aging?
