CARA Action Teams (CATs)

Join the CARA ACTION TEAM (CAT) in your Area

or Start a New CAT 2010

Many of the CARA Action Teams (CATS) have established regular meeting dates and locations. Others are brand new and have not set a regular schedule. Please call the convener for the CAT in your area and find out when the next meeting is scheduled. 2010 is going to be a critical year for CARA and for seniors – we need your help.

If there is not a CAT organized in your area, and you would like to get one started, call the CARA office to find out how to schedule a CAT and meet other CARA members and activists in your community. For Northern CA call 415-550-0828 or 877-223-6107 (toll free) and for Southern CA call 714-244-7776. Please call to confirm the schedule below.
