Dear Parties Interested in Aging Services in Wake County:

Area Agencies on Aging in North Carolina are embarking on the process of developing regional aging plans for fiscal years 2008 through 2011. Various tools have been designed to help Area Agencies gather input from constituents in member counties and assess how the Area Agency might assist in addressing expressed concerns and service gaps.

I believe your feedback is critical as our seven-county region attempts to address the implications of our rapidly growing older population. I am respectfully requesting that each of you complete two survey tools by Friday, February 29. Also, please share these surveys with others! We are especially anxious to get input from seniors and caregivers!

· In Survey 1 you will be indicating as many as three areas of high concern in each of eight components of Senior/People Friendliness in Wake County.

· In Survey 2 you are asked to note high levels of unmet need with regard to specific aging services in Wake County.

You will find the surveys at http://www.tjcog.org/surveys/aaasrvys.htm. After completing Survey 1 you will be directed to Survey 2. Please take a few minutes to offer your feedback regarding these key issues. If you need paper copies of the survey, or have concerns or questions, please let me know. (Note that if you choose to copy the surveys there is a "print survey" button at the bottom of both.)

Thank you for your time and interest!

Joan
