Mr. President, Councilors, and Mr. Manager.
It is my pleasure to express a positive message at this time.
A while ago you provided the Council on Aging with the fruits necessary to advance the scope of the Senior Center, such as more hours for our able bodied staff to stretch their abilities. And they have them.
Mr. Manager [Michael Driscoll] you appointed a Director [Anne-Marie Gagnon] whose experience and advice allows the Members of the Council on Aging to ponder every aspect of senior living and needs. The Board votes on most every issue. The director is able to implement those votes.
Did you know – the Council on Aging has programs that co-ordinate with other towns such as Belmont, Newton and Waltham? Also, did you know how valued our programs are to other towns?
At this point, we don’t know how long it will take us to arrive where we want to be. We continue to walk forward. We simply want the excellence of our Senior Center to become a known truth.

Member, Council on Aging
