OFFICE OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND Dear Friends,

Once again we are thrilled to introduce the annual Montgomery County Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Resource Guide. The 2016 Guide promises to connect you to many and varied organizations that support healthy aging in our community. Becoming familiar with the resources available in our community before you need them is an investment in time that often pays rich dividends. I encourage you to begin by reviewing the Table of Contents.

Also, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find on every page of this guide the phone number of Aging and Disability Services, (240) 777-3000. Calling this number will connect you to county staff members eager to help you respond to aging-related needs.

This Guide is possible through a long-standing partnership of Montgomery County government and the Beacon newspapers. By working together to promote local resources, we help enable residents to live and thrive in Montgomery County throughout their lives.

Sincerely, Isiah Leggett County Executive 2
