Minnetonka , Minn. – Senior Community Services will host its fourth annual Key Community Partner Awards on Friday, Oct. 10, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. at the Marriott Minneapolis West in St. Louis Park. This event recognizes the outstanding effort and significant positive impact awardees have on seniors in their communities.
Award recipients for 2014 are Dorsey & Whitney LLP, The City of Bloomington, Jewish Family and Children’s Services, Catholic Heart, and volunteer Kathy Stein.
In addition to the awards, a Keynote Address titled “Aging Well, Life Everlaughing” will be presented by Molly Cox, nationally-renowned speaker specializing in humor and stress management in healthcare. The luncheon is also a fundraiser for Senior Community Services. There will be a silent auction, raffle drawing and other activities.
“The funds raised will be used to advance our vision to mobilize the community to Reimagine Aging. This involves assisting seniors with household duties they can no longer manage alone, helping ease their isolation and loneliness at our many senior centers, helping them navigate the seemingly endless depths of complex healthcare options, and providing care coordination help for caregivers who dutifully do all they can day in and day out,” said Deb Taylor, Senior Community Services CEO.

With the help of thousands of volunteers and hundreds of community partners, the nonprofit offers responsive and affordable services helping seniors remain independent, the lifestyle most adults prefer.
