News of Interest

DRCOG is holding public meetings on its 4-Year Plan on Aging this summer and fall.

As the Area Agency on Aging for eight counties throughout the region (the entire DRCOG region except Boulder, which has its own AAA), DRCOG is required to prepare this plan document every four years to help determine the critical needs of older adults in its service area, and to help guide funding decisions.

There will be a meeting in each county, starting with Denver next week.  Check out the list of meeting dates and times here http://www.drcog.org/index.cfm?page=PublicInputMeetings.
