DATE AND TIME: October 11, 2006, 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Elder Affairs is very interested in getting your input in preparation for its development of the state’s plan for addressing the needs and well-being of Florida’s 4 million elders age 60 and older. In order to affect this purpose, we are hosting several regional workshops around the state and are extending an invitation for you to participate. Based on your thoughts, we will prepare the State Plan on Aging, 2008 – 2010, which is the basis for allocation of funding for elder service providers throughout Florida.
Each regional workshop will also include a visioning process for existing Communities For a Lifetime (CFAL) participants and those interested in establishing the CFAL designation. The process will stimulate ideas on how Florida’s cities, towns and counties can plan for and implement smart growth to accommodate the future needs of their community, both youth and elders.
