OFFICE FOR THE AGING CELEBRATES CAREGIVERS – The Oswego County Office for the Aging (OFA) hosted a luncheon for local caregivers in appreciation of their dedication and hard work. The program included speakers and a free lunch buffet with dessert at the Oswego Country Club. Caregivers were presented with gift bags filled with a variety of self-care items, caregiver resources and door prizes of floral arrangements and Dunkin’ gift cards. They also received travel bags with things to help entertain their loved ones during appointments. Thanks to the successful revival of this luncheon, OFA plans to make this an annual event.
