ONLY meeting where both members and guests are charged $35/person, and it includes a hot breakfast buffet.
We also collect non-perishable foods for the Food on the 15th program, which COGS sponsors. These donations are voluntary. Please support this program as often as you can. Donations support a project at Pointers Run Elementary and Clarksville Middle Schools that affords students the opportunity to learn first hand about philanthropy at a young age. The students collect the food donations, sort and bag them, and deliver the groceries, with the assistance of their parents, to the residents of a senior housing complex in Howard County. Many of the residents are economically challenged and live on as little as $9,000 per year. They often have to make the choice between purchasing food and prescriptions.
The Coalition of Geriatric Services prints a Membership Directory called “A Guide to Services for Seniors” for use as a resource guide for the Howard County community and surrounding areas. Over five thousand directories are distributed through the Howard County Library System, Columbia Village Centers, Howard County Office on Aging, Howard County General Hospital, Social Security Administration, Senior Centers, Healthcare Providers, Nursing and Rehabilitation Centers, Financial Institutions, Lawyer’s offices, Senior Day “Plan Your Future” event and at the 50 Plus Expo. As a COGS member your organization will automatically receive a free listing and a 25 word description of your business.
