“We are honored to have Senator Collins join us as we celebrate our 45th year of service,” shared Rev. Kenneth Phelps, Board President. “The Annual Meeting provides an opportunity for the organization and community to reflect on our mission, acknowledge the service provided to older people throughout the region and prepare for a new year.”

In addition, the meeting will include election of officers, the year in review, a look into the future, and employee service awards.

The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. with refreshments and social time. The formal meeting will start at 10:00 a.m. A luncheon will follow at approximately noon. Lunch costs $5 and is payable in advance or at the door.
