There is always something happening at the senior center in Grand Marais and there are always questions and concerns about senior living in Cook County that need to be addressed. One entity that works to meet those needs is the Cook County Council on Aging. The council is seeking members to join its board of directors.
The council oversees operations at the senior center in Grand Marais and at the very successful First & Second Thrift Store. They do so by providing overall leadership and strategic direction to staff. Board members should have an interest in these enterprises as well as an understanding of the senior community’s needs. Board members should have a passion for working with seniors and a willingness to commit time for board meetings, committee meetings and various special events.
Council meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at 9 a.m. Board members also are expected to serve on a committee. New board members would start after the first of the year.
If you are interested in joining the Cook County Council on Aging board of directors, stop by the Cook County Senior Center for an application or e-mail seniors@boreal.org. For more information, call (218) 387-2660. Applications are due by November 28 at 4 p.m.
