Celebrate our Best Practices Award !

July 31st from 1:00 until 2:00 p.m.

Join keynote speaker Linda L. Nablo, Commissioner of the Virginia Department on Aging, to celebrate our recognition as the 2008 Best Practices Award winner in the Healthy Aging category. The Commonwealth Council on Aging (CCA), a citizen advisory group to the Department on Aging, recognizes and encourages model aging programs throughout Virginia through its annual Best Practices awards.

We were selected for this prestigious award for the breadth and quality of our programs in fitness, lifelong learning, travel, recreation, volunteering, and arts that combine to promote independent living for over 2,000 seniors in our community. Gene Ecton Davis, chair of the CCA, shared, “This award is the result of a review of more than 30 proposals and was selected from a very competitive field of applicants. Therefore, your organization should be very proud of its work.”

Join representatives of the CCA, elected officials and representatives from senior centers throughout Virginia to celebrate this award and learn why our Center is held in such high esteem. The celebration is Thursday, July 31st from 1:00 until 2:00 p.m. We will have refreshments and additional speakers to help celebrate this achievement.

The CCA is composed of citizens from all walks of life and all geographic areas of the Commonwealth. The Council promotes an efficient, coordinated approach by state government to meeting the needs of older Virginians.
