Executive Sponsor 2 2014 Salute to Seniors Official Fair Guide Colorado Gerontological Society

There are many organizations working on behalf of senior citizens in Colorado. Frequently seniors are confused about where to find help when it is needed. The Salute to Seniors is one way older adults and families can get information in a community setting; visit with professionals in the field of aging; inquire about employment opportunities; watch demonstrations of products; and receive this Fair Guide to use in the future.

The Official Fair Guide contains a listing of only those agencies which exhibited at the Salute to

Seniors this year. Although a wide variety of services are showcased, not all agencies and services available to seniors in Colorado are listed. If you wish to have additional information about a particular agency or service, please feel free to call 303-333-3482 or write to CGS, 3006 East

Colfax Av, Denver 80206. You may also visit our website at www.senioranswers.org.
