LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Fall is here! You can feel the change in the air. There has also been a big change at Douglas County Senior Services. Last month we welcomed our new Executive Director, Kristin Scheurer. We are so happy that Kristin is leading our team into the future. There is so much to be excited about. DCSS will be growing and changing in the coming months and years, as we strive to meet the challenges that come with our new responsibilities to Douglas County and the City of Lawrence, and in our efforts to address the needs of our “booming� senior population.

And it’s a very busy time of year at DCSS. There are lots of programs and activities in full swing, and the holidays are upon us. We hope you’ll visit us at the Lawrence Senior Center, whether it’s for lunch, a class or activity, our holiday craft session, or Popcorn Fridays.

7KH QHZ SDUNLQJ JDUDJH LV RSHQ DQG IRU WKH ÂżUVW WLPH LQ ages, parking is plentiful. Hope to see you soon!

Annual Holiday Assistance program starts this month The holidays are just around the corner, and this year, as in years past, DCSS is asking for your help to make the holidays brighter for seniors in need through our “Adopt a Senior� program. We take applications from low income seniors and match them with volunteers from the community who provide them with items from their “wish list.� In the interest of both parties, adoptions are anonymous.

If you (or your business or organization) are interested in adopting a senior this year, please call the Community Services Department at DCSS, 842-0543. There are numerous ways to participate. A typical adoption may cost up to $100. If you wish to adopt, but have a tight budget, we can arrange a partial adoption. If you would like to help, but hate to shop - we’ll gladly do your shopping for you. Cash donations are happily accepted.

DCSS will take applications for assistance through November 15.

Adopters are asked to bring their gifts to the Lawrence Senior Center on Thursday, December 19.

Please help up share the magic of the holiday season this year. It will make your holidays brighter, too.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Annual Holiday Assistance O.U.R.S. (Oldsters United for Responsible Service) program starts this month

Fall is here! You can feel the change in the air. There has also been a big change at Douglas County Senior Services. Last month we welcomed our new Executive Director, Kristin Scheurer. We are so happy that Kristin is leading our team into the future. There is so much to be excited about. DCSS will be growing and changing in the coming months and years, as we strive to meet the challenges that come with our new responsibilities to Douglas County and the City of Lawrence, and in our efforts to address the needs of our â&#x20AC;&#x153;boomingâ&#x20AC;? senior population.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very busy time of year at DCSS. There are lots of programs and activities in full swing, and the holidays are upon us. We hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll visit us at the Lawrence Senior Center, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for lunch, a class or activity, our holiday craft session, or Popcorn Fridays.
