Maplewood Senior Advisory Committee
Let your voice be heard! Please join Maplewood's Seniors Advisory Committee via Zoom on the 2nd Thursday each month at 6:30 PM.
This multigenerational team makes recommendations, assists with outreach, and responds to requests for advisory support regarding issues related to the status and quality of life for seniors living within Maplewood. The Committee also assists the Township with the implementation of the work plan of the SOMA Age Friendly Initiative. Got an idea of what would make Maplewood more senior-friendly? We'd love to have you join us and help keep Maplewood listening to the needs of our senior friends & neighbors!
The 2025 meeting dates are July10th, August 14th, September 11th, October 9th, November 13th, and December 11th.
In future months, we can change this reminder to include any events or special initiatives the committee is engaging in so that people can attend those that are of interest to them. Thank you so much!
Looking forward to hearing from potential members!!!!
