Don't Miss The Bus!
Join a busload of other seniors from throughout the County on Tuesday, May 8 for a trip to Salinas to appear before our County Board of Supervisors and celebrate Older American's Month.
A Monterey Salinas Transit (MST) bus will be picking up seniors at the Sally Griffin Active Living Center in Pacific Grove, then heading over to the Oldemeyer Center in Seaside, and making a final pickup at the Alliance on Aging office in Salinas. The bus will then proceed to the Board of Supervisor's meeting where a Resolution will be read recognizing Older American's Month. Let's fill this bus and let our community and local policy makers know the combined power of the seniors in our community!
Breakfast treats and a boxed lunch will be provided at no cost!
