Senior Center Wins State Best Practices Award!

The Commonwealth Council on Aging (CCA) has selected our Senior Center as their 2008 Best Practices Award winner in the Healthy Aging category. Through this series of awards, the CCA recognizes and encourages model aging programs throughout the Commonwealth.

We were selected for this prestigious award for the breadth and quality of our programs in recreation, 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.”

The CCA is the advisory board for the Virginia Department for the Aging. It 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.

Join our community celebration of this award Thursday July 31, 2008, 1:00 to 2:00 p.m..
