“I encourage
senior citizens and their families to mark the calendar and save the date: Saturday, October 12, for the Golden
Gathering for Columbia County. Attendees will receive free health, wellness
and quality of life services, along with other important information that will
help them enjoy their golden years to the fullest. I look forward to seeing
