A. Questions Submitted to Guides

As a service to our users and in furtherance of our goals of providing volunteer, leadership, and educational opportunities for adults age 50 and over, Coming of Age features public forums where users can post questions that Coming of Age staff and volunteers may view and answer and that other site visitors may view. Any information shared (including Personally Identifiable and Personal Health Information) that you post is by design open to the public and is not a private, secure service. You should think carefully before disclosing any Personally Identifiable or Personal Health Information in any public forum. What you have written may be seen, disclosed to or collected by third parties and may be used by others in ways we are unable to control or predict, including to contact you for unauthorized purposes.
