The Commission on Aging’s charge is to provide leadership in addressing the special needs of the aging population and to manage and assist with the implementation of the county’s Aging Readiness Plan. This month, the commission welcomes staff from the Clark County Assessor’s office who will provide an overview and background information about Clark County’s Tax Exemption Program for Senior Citizens and People with Disabilities, instruct attendees how to apply, what documentation to bring, and what benefits this program has to offer. 

Additionally, COA member Donna Mason, who is also a board member for the Humane Society for Southwest Washington, is excited to discuss service opportunities and programs currently available at the animal shelter. 

The meeting will take place at 4:30 pm on Wednesday, Oct. 15, and is open to the public.
