The Waynesboro Senior Advocacy Commission is a group of volunteers appointed by City Council to advocate for the health, safety and overall well-being of older adults in our community.

The WSAC is excited to host the 3rd Annual Waynesboro Senior Forum on Monday, Aug. 29th from 5-7 p.m. at First Baptist Church. We welcomed over 125 attendees in 2010, and we look forward to another great crowd this year. The Senior Forum will feature expert guest speakers, complimentary refreshments, an Information Fair and fun door prizes.

Expert guest speakers include:

The free event is open to the public. Seniors, family members, caregivers and policy makers are all invited to attend.
