Prince George's County Advisory Committee on Aging

April 29, 2011 was Senior Law Day in Prince George's County once again we partnered with the Elder Law Section of the Maryland State Bar Association, the Maryland Volunteer Lawyer's Service, the Prince George's County Department of Family Services and the Prince George's County Area Agency on Aging .  We had 118 seniors signed up at seven (7) Senior Centers throughout the county from Camp Springs to Greenbelt.  Each site was staffed by volunteers from the Prince George's County Aging Advisory Committee, the volunteers greeted the participants, provided them with "goodie" bags and paperwork to complete prior to meeting with a volunteer attorney.  Volunteer attorneys met with each participant and helped them to prepare an Advance Medical Directive for healthcare decision-making.  We would like to thank our community sponsors:  AARP of Maryland, Community Crisis Services, Inc, Maryland Crime Victims Resource Center, the Maryland Legal Aid Bureau
