Special to The Gazette
Once again, the North
Central Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging is sponsoring the
annual Older Kansan’s Day in
Topeka at the State Capitol.
This year the event is
Tuesday, Feb. 16. The rally
gives area seniors, caregivers
and anyone else interested in
senior issues the opportunity
to visit with area legislators,
as well as be a visible presence in the capitol to show
all those involved in state
government that the impact

up for debate in either the
Senate or the House of Representatives.
Anyone in Kansas is welcome to attend, especially

and members of the Governor’s staff, sending the message that seniors and senior
issues are important to Kansans.
Cost for the event is $10,
which is used to defray the
cost of the catered meal that
will take place on the second
floor of the State Capitol rotunda. Those wanting to register can do so by calling NCFHAAA at 1-800-432-2703.
“The state can greatly reduce spending by passing legislation that makes it easier
for an elderly person to stay in
their own home, at a fraction
of the cost it takes for them
to receive care in a senior

president of the Kansas Silver
Haired Legislature. “While
