Historical June 1980 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
All St. Louis senior citizens centers, community groups or individuals with or without a formal group affiliation are being urged to sponsor a Community Forum on Aging during June.
The request comes from Dr. Lucius F. Cervantes, S.J., Commissioner for Senior Citizens, who says the purpose of these meetings is to gain input from various groups and organizations in the city on the issues of importance to the elderly for the White House Conference on aging, to be held in Washington, D.C. in December of 1981. Such discussions will develop an awareness of the current status of the elderly residents within a community as well as encourage the community to better prepare itself for the future when a greater percentage of its residents will be older Americans. Organizers of local Community Forums will be provided with “report sheets” on which to record forum proceedings and recommendations.
These forum records will be forwarded to White House Conference on Aging officials.
For more information on sponsoring a Community Forum on Aging contact Madeline Oliver, director of Research and Development for the St. Louis Area Agency on Aging, at 622-3718.
