History

The Union County Older Adult Interagency Council held its first meeting on December 14, 1987. The organizational minutes state that the purpose of the council is as follows:

• Knowing each other and services attached
• Better utilize staff and money
• Identify and advocate for additional services for clients

It was determined that knowing each other has to be a part of the program in order to better get services for our clients.

This meeting is held the 3rd Tuesday of each month from 2:30-4pm at the Ellen Fitzgerald Senior Center in Monroe.  All family caregivers are welcome to attend.
