Covid-19 continues to disrupt and displace the best-
laid plans and celebrations……
It is with hope, that the Washington County
Commission on Aging is announcing that our 50th
Anniversary Celebration Gala to be held on October
23, 2021, at St. James School has been moved to
March 19, 2022. We have made this decision in
collaboration with our Executive Committee and St.
James School while seeking the consensus of respected
medical advisors.
In life, we often find there are 2 agents of change, time
and people. At the Washington County Commission on
Aging, we accept the challenge of change as we move
to respect the seriousness of our times while doing our
best to protect the people of Washington County.
If you have already planned to join us in October;
please consider moving your commitment to attend on
March 19, 2022, and mark your calendars today! If the
news about our 50th Anniversary Gala is new to you, or
changing the date has enabled you to attend, you can
register HERE!
The date for our celebration has changed, but the work
of our organization continues as we serve thousands of
Washington County residents.
Please continue your support of the Commission on
Aging by registering for our Gala, making a donation,
or partnering with our Annual Campaign in November.
Thank You!
