The Upsides of Downsizing

When you’ve lived anywhere for any length of time, it’s easy to collect a lot of things. Figuring out what sparks joy and what you might part with can be a tough decision. It’s comforting to know that you don’t have to do it all on your own. On October 9th, you’re invited to join us at Friendship Village of Bloomington for an informative Upsides to Downsizing event. We are welcoming our special guest speaker, Melissa Klug, a professional organizer certified in KonMari®, a method made famous by celebrity organizer Marie Kondo.

Melissa will share expert tips for customizing an approachable downsizing plan that works best for you. After spending countless hours helping others downsize, she knows exactly how to help you from feeling overwhelmed. She will share advice for every step of the process—from deciding what to keep, sell, or donate to auctions, gifting, consignment, and more—all ways to help you on this journey. You’ll also enjoy lunch prepared by our in-house culinary team and hear what it’s like to be part of our vibrant culture. Downsizing has its upsides, and at Friendship Village of Bloomington, we are excited to be part of your next adventure.
