Senior Helpers' President Joins Austin Groups for the Elderly Board of Directors

This month Frank Hayes, President of Senior Helpers of Central Texas, was asked to join the Board of Directors for Austin Groups for the Elderly (A.G.E.) and he graciously accepted.

A.G.E. provides many services to the senior community in Austin and also in Williamson County: Elderhaven Adult Day Centers (Austin & Round Rock); The Caregiver Resource Center (serves the elderly, adults with disabilities, their caregivers, families and health care providers with information, consultation, guidance and support); The SeniorNet Computer Learning Center (offers basic to advanced hands-on educational computer classes for older adults taught by volunteers in a peer to peer setting). 

"I hope that I will be of assistance in my new role as a member of the Board of Directors to help ensure that A.G.E. continues to be able to provide the services that our Senior Community in Central Texas requires", said Frank Hayes, President Senior Helpers.

A.G.E. is funded primarily by donations along with grants from Federal, State and private sources. If you would like to support the efforts of Austin Groups for the Elderly in Travis and Williamson Counties please visit their website to make a contribution or volunteer
