Joined the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities: 2019-04-26

Structure: Town-appointed all-volunteer committee with support from Thrive Penobscot

Note: Meeting minutes are posted on the town website; recorded meetings are shared on the Town YouTube channel

Highlight of 2023: Within the last year, Age-Friendly Millinocket has become more widely known in the community. Regular updates were made by the Chair of the AF Committee to Town Councilors as part of the effort to promote the work of the committee. Other committee members actively talked about the work of the committee and spread their excitement for the work being done to make Millinocket more age-friendly.  So, the one accomplishment I'm most proud of is the growth and collective understanding of what it means to create a more livable community for all.
