Community Conversation with The Danbury Aging in Place Council

The Danbury Aging in Place Council

Wants to hear from you!

Please join us for a casual conversation in late February.

We want to listen and learn about how you use downtown resources such as stores, the library, places for social events and entertainment and public services. We also want to learn about any related challenges in using these resources. Our ultimate goal is to help older adults who live in downtown Danbury have access to community resources that can make their lives easier and more meaningful.  However, first we want to hear from you.

What:            Conversation about Downtown

When:           Monday, February 27, 2017

Where:         Elmwood Hall – Danbury Senior Center

RSVP:           Call Elmwood Hall (203-797-4686) or just stop by.

Please select a time that is convenient for you.  There will be three sessions, 12 noon, 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm. Seating is limited, sign up soon!

Light refreshments and City Center Bucks will be provided to participants.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience and perspective.

Who we are:  The Danbury Aging in Place Council is comprised of representatives of community organizations, government, philanthropy, business, nonprofit and individuals.

With support by the Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation, Connecticut Community Care, Inc. serves as the “backbone” organization for the Council. Contact Sherry Ostrout at [email protected]
