SSA’s January 17th Event – Alexandria’s “Age Friendly Plan”
10 to 11:30 am The Lee Center – Exhibition hall (lower level)
1108 Jefferson Street, Alexandria

The Alexandria Commission on Aging and the Division of Aging & Adult Services are updating the City’s Age Friendly Strategic Plan. This updated plan will be presented to City Council and, when approved, will guide funds and services for Alexandria’s older adult population. We want to hear from you on what the priorities should be for older adults residing in Alexandria, and how to improve city services and policies. We ask that you complete a short survey on aging services and needs before the January 17th event. Click here to complete. If you need assistance, please call 703.726.3339. The event is free, but ask that you RSVP by emailing events@seniorservicesalex.org or call 703-836-4414, ext. 110.
