PROGRAM:
President Leland called on Lowell Greenbaum to introduce our speaker, Kat Ernce, Executive Director of the Senior Citizens Council.
The Council is a non-profit 501c3 established in 1968 to provide senior adult services in two distinct areas, advocacy and the Senior Corps. They are proud to celebrate their 50th anniversary this year.
The Senior Corp is a nationwide network of volunteer programs that allows individuals an opportunity to get involved and help in their community. Some of the programs include Senior Companions and Foster Grandparents.
On the advocacy side, the Council helps seniors make positive and informed decisions. They educate seniors on various frauds to look out for and ways to avoid being a victim of abuse.
Anyone wishing to learn more about the Councils services should call or check out their website at www.seniorcitizenscouncil.org.
REMINDER:
Our next meeting will be October 29 and will feature Dr. Lee Ann Caldwell, the co-author of the new Historic Augusta book.
The meeting was adjourned with the Four Way Test.
