SENIORS
ROUND TABLE

Seniors in Riverview will have an opportunity to have their voices heard; a roundtable has been formed to hear what you have to say so that Town Council can address your concerns. The roundtable is designed completely with you in mind. Seniors in the community have been around the longest and have more insight than anyone else. The Community can learn much from you.

The roundtable represents different clubs, organizations, and individuals in the town of Riverview. The roundtable meets and discusses concerns that have been brought to its attention. The concerns can be personal or from seniors in the community brought to their attention through their club or by word of mouth.

The organizations that are currently represented include: Albert County
Action Committee, Riverview Lions, Lioness, CARP, Bridgedale Seniors, and Riverview Senior Citizens Club. We are hopeful that the Riverview Veterans will join the committee.

The roundtable also has a town councilor, Ann Seamans, to act as a liaison between the mayor and the roundtable. Should your organization wish to have a representative on the committee, we would be pleased to hear from you.

The group is working to find an efficient way for seniors to share their concerns.  A few options include putting the roundtable’s contact information on the water and heating bills, to implement a website, to have their information in the
town bulletin and to send out their own bulletin with current news and events. We want to ensure that all seniors with a concern get heard, that is the most important mandate for this group. 

Issues being discussed are senior transportation, housing, wheelchair access in the town hall and many more. The goal of the committee will be to engage you and to collaborate with other groups with a common interest to resolve these issues and help create a safer community.

The Committee Chairperson is Cecile Cassista . To contact the committee with your input please call Harold Gibson at 386-7515 who will present your concerns at the next committee meeting.
