Coahfion of Senior Service Agencies is sponsoring a forum on the
designation of the Area Agency on Aging. We hope that you, representatives from
your agency and/or senior persons you serve will be able to attend.
Details of the forum:
Date: Thursday, April 21
Time: 9:00 A.M. - 11:00 A.M.
Place: Social Events Room
7132 Portland Avenue
Richfield, MN
(866-4O55)
We are inviting the two groups which have indicated their intent to apply to
become the Area Agency on Aging. They are, at this time, the Seven Metropolitan
Counties, and the Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging. (The Volunteers of America
have decided to not apply). We will ask for a presentation from each of the applicants
but most of the morning will provide an opportunity for you to dialogue with them (the
applicants). We believe this will provide a good opportunity for all of us to get some
important information on this critical issue.
The Executive Committee of the State Board on Aging will be making their
recommendation on May 6 and the full .Board on Aging will make the decision on May
20. You will have time, after our forum, to submit written comments.
We stron~,ly urI, e you to communicate this invitation to your senior
consumers and help them attend in whatever way you can.
