September is Senior Citizen Center Month

Posted

At a Wayne County proclamation of the month as Senior Citizen Center Month, Jacqueline Sturgis, the executive director for the Wayne County Area Agency on Aging, seated left, and Honesdale Senior Center Director Pat Perkins, seated center with proclamation, were joined by several clients of Wayne County’s three senior citizen centers on September 15 and the county commissioners, standing: Wendell Kay, left, Brian Smith and Jonathan Fritz. Several of those attending spoke of the importance of the centers in their lives. In addition to social contact and assistance with programs for the aging, Perkins said that between on-site meals and delivery, the agency provides 500 to 700 meals daily. Sturgis said the centers provide a link between younger seniors and the human services and programs they will need in later life.
