Senior Citizen Council of Cobb County Advocates for 55+ Population The Senior Citizen Council of Cobb County was formed in 1973. It is a tax-exempt membership based organization, sponsored by Cobb Senior Services, whose primary function is to further the common good and general welfare of Cobb County adults over the age of 55. It now oversees the activities of approximately 50 clubs and over 3,500 individual members. Other organizations striving to meet the needs of seniors in the community consider the Council as a role model in Georgia. The Senior Council participates on a delegate capacity in community organizations such as Co-AGE, Atlanta Regional Commission Task Force on Aging, and Cobb Services for the Elderly. By providing a forum for communication, the Council creates the vehicle to encourage seniors to stay involved in the community and to have a voice on aging issues. It also provides encouragement by awarding Community Awards for outstanding seniors and community leaders at a luncheon held annually. The Bulletin, a monthly newspaper published by the Council, provides space for the Senior Centers to advertise schedules of events, activities, classes, and inform the senior of current events and legislation pertinent to their interests and age.
Additionally, the Senior Council takes on projects to promote senior issues within the community. Recently, the Council sponsored many popular programs such as the Vial of Life, Medical Information Cards, Resource Directory, SafeAmerica, as well as offering annual scholarships to students enrolled in Gerontology programs through the College of Continuing Education, CAREing Center, at Kennesaw State University.
