McGinnis, County Nanager <br /> <br />FROM: Donna Plyler, Aging Coordinator <br /> <br />DATE: February, 1983 Schedule for the month of Februar~ <br /> <br />Emanual Baptist Church, Concord, established a Senior Citizen's Club <br />during the month of February. This makes a total of 51 senior clubs <br />throughout our county. When our Senior Services Program began in <br />November, 1981, we were serving 34 clubs. We hope to increase the <br />number of clubs to 60 by 1984. <br /> <br />The Aging Coordinator held the program for the Trinity Methodist Senior <br />Citizen Club for their February meeting. Services, programs and activities <br />are always discussed along with the needs assessment survey. 2-}7-83 <br /> <br />Association of American Retired Persons met Februa~ 23. The Aging <br />Coordinator meets with these organizations to apply assistance and support <br />as needed. <br /> <br />Council on Aging met Februat~ 15. <br /> <br />The Senior Services Program continues to coordinate tl~e Senior Bowling <br />Leagues in Concord (Tuesdays) and Kannapotis (Monday's), This activity <br />was requested by Seniors in Mt. Pleasant, Harrisburg, Concord and Kannapolis, <br /> <br />We continue to gather information and coordinate with other agencies for <br />programs and services to be announced in our Senior Newsletter "Sunset <br />Outlook". The programs made available are often determined from the <br />Needs Assessment Survey or when we have a request from individuals. <br /> <br />Information & Referral <br />Family members have begun to seek our help on what to expect, what's <br />available (activities, services and in-home care) and how to deal with <br />problems their aging parents may have. The Senior Services Program is <br />increasingly serving as an advocate to our co~tunity on "Aging". <br /> <br />With our Senior Clubs and Nutrition Centers serving as satellites, plans <br />are in the making for CPR classes and craft classes. By taking these <br />programs to the different clubs in communities throughout the county, <br />we are able to serve more senior citizens, We try first to find volunteers <br /> <br /> <br />
