The Senior Advocates are planning to hire a Trip Coordinator who will take over the long established senior day trips planned each year. These trips are an essential part of the Advocates’ mission in promoting senior’s mobility, sociability, and engagement.

There are three main details of trip planning – choosing a destination and date, contracting with the bus company, and lining up senior participants.

Seniors are contacted via our monthly newsletters, from Senior Dining attendees, notices in the Solon Economist, and word of mouth. Acquiring a Trip Coordinator is essential in continuing the Advocates’ work in addressing needs of our seniors!

Please call 319-430-8655 for info or email [email protected].
