If you live in Maryland, seniors need your help!
The Maryland Department of Aging is threatened with removal from the governor's cabinet and loss of its independent status.
Dozens of programs of great importance to Maryland's older adults are at risk of losing staff support and funding. It is critical that as many Marylanders as possible write the governor and urge him to maintain the Department of Aging on his cabinet and more -- not less -- attention on aging issues.
Here is how you can help:
Print the below letter
Add your signature and address at the bottom
Mail it as soon as possible to the governor's office
Make additional copies so friends and family may also sign and send it.
You may send your own personal letter to the governor, phone his office at 410-974-3901 or email him through his website at: http://www.gov.state.md.us/mail
Hopefully our efforts will support the Maryland Department of Aging in providing services for our most vulnerable citizens.
