In addition to all the services we offer, our office works in a collaborative partnership with 15 senior clubs located in our city. A by-monthly Advisory Council meeting is held for all the presidents of each club. One of the main purpose of this council is to create a better line of communication between local government and the senior clubs. Information is shared and distributed to all presidents about our new programs and special activities and or trips. The Senior Advisory presidents are encouraged to use the Office on Aging as their headquarters or point of information.
