On Thursday, November 5, 2015, the Alliance for Aging will present awards to these individuals who are examples of Positive Living at the 9th ANNUAL POSITIVE LIVING AWARDS at Jungle Island. The event is attended by a cross section of our community of educated, experienced, business people and professionals.
