For a couple of years Bob Dougherty, from the SBC Department of Aging and Adult Services, has been letting me know when he would be at the Twentynine Palms Senior Center handing out bus passes for seniors, helping with HEAP applications, and distributing Farmers Market
checks. And then I let you know.
He told me last week that he’s decided to set up shop in Wonder Valley on a quarterly basis, doing the same thing for us here. The first date will be October 17 at 11 a.m. He will also counsel seniors on any other issues, such as elder abuse, and in home supportive services.
If you want to fill out a HEAP application, please call Bob Dougherty at 760-228-5219 for an appointment.
The four Senior Information Assistance meetings at the Wonder Valley Community Center will be sponsored and paid for by The Friends of Wonder Valley.
