CONVERSATIONS ON AGING
TO BE HELD THROUGHOUT PRINCE WILLIAM AREA
The Prince William Commission on Aging (COA) will host Conversations on Aging to be held in the Prince William area throughout the month of May. Also in attendance will be representatives from the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC).
Conversations on Aging are opportunities for residents of all ages to listen, discuss and share ideas about issues concerning older adults and provide feedback as to the types of services needed that will assist older adults to live as independently as possible. The COA and PRTC seek public input about issues such as transportation, nutrition and wellness programs, affordable housing, centers for active older adults, in-home services and adult day care. Caregivers are encouraged to attend and present concerns that are unique to the caregiving experience. The Conversations on Aging are public forums where participants can share ideas as to what will make the Prince William area a community where everyone can empower, enhance and enjoy aging.
There are four opportunities to participate in the Conversations on Aging:
May 5 at 7:00 p.m. at the Lake Ridge Baptist Church located at 12450 Clipper Drive in Woodbridge;
May 6 at 10:00 a.m. at the Manassas Senior Center located at 9320 Mosby Street in Manassas;
May 8 at 7:00 p.m. at the Manassas City Hall located at 9027 Center Street in Manassas; and
May 14 at 10:00 a.m. at Dr. A. J. Ferlazzo Building located at 15941 Donald Curtis Drive in Woodbridge.
The month of May is traditionally celebrated in the Prince William area and throughout the United States as Older Americans Month. The Conversations on Aging will afford residents of all ages opportunities to participate in that celebration.
