WEST UNIVERSITY SENIOR BOARD - APRIL 14, 1988
APAC MEETING - APRIL 7, 1988
The regular monthly meeting of the Area Planning Advisory
Committee was held at the City of Houston Health Offices,
8000 N. Stadium Drive.
Regular sub-committees met in short session, and then the open
session was given over entirely to the presentation of some
20 candidates for the Silver-Haired Legislature. Each spoke to
the meeting and later answered questions. The general feeling was
the Silver-Haired Legislature will be useful and should be sup-
ported in their work with the regular legislators.
The Mayor's Showcase on Aging will be held May 5 and 6 at the
Brown Convention Center. A booth will present APAC activities.
