Rep. Ken Gordon Invites Wilmington Seniors To Local Forum With State’s Elder Affairs Committee Chair

BURLINGTON, MA — Representative Kenneth I. Gordon (D-Bedford) invites all seniors, their loved ones, and caregivers to a Community Conversation with the House Chair of the Joint Committee on Elder Affairs of the Massachusetts Legislature Denise C. Garlick (D-Needham) Thursday, November 19, 2015 at 11 a.m. at the Burlington Council on Aging (61 Center Street).

“I have had the pleasure of meeting with the seniors of our district each month for the past three years and they face particular challenges dealing with healthcare, finances, and housing,” said Rep. Gordon. “I am delighted that the House Chair of the Joint Committee on Senior Affairs is coming to Burlington so we can discuss all of these matters with the seniors of our district. All seniors from Bedford, Burlington and Wilmington are welcome and encouraged to attend.”

Gordon also expects Congressman Seth Moulton to be represented by senior staff, who can answer questions about the challenges faced by seniors on the federal level, such as social security and Medicare.

The government leaders will provide information on the resources that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts currently uses to support our seniors. Most importantly, Representative Gordon and Chair Garlick are looking forward to listening to the issues, needs, and concerns of the seniors in the community in order to plan for the future.

The event will be held at the Burlington COA at 61 Center Street in Burlington. All seniors are welcome, with a special invitation to seniors from Representative Gordon’s district of Bedford, Burlington, and Wilmington.
