The Greene County Council on Aging is a not-for-profit county-wide organization which promotes independence and quality of life for Greene County senior citizens and caregivers.

The GCCOA provides a broad range of services and programs, including the Partners in Care (PIC) care management program, the Medication Management Assistance Program (MMAP), the Kinship Navigator Program (for grandparents raising grandchildren and other individuals raising someone else's child), educational and support programs for caregivers, a caregiver resource center, and service grants to area senior centers and other service providers.

In addition, the Council provides information to seniors, caregivers, and the general community on a wide variety of topics. This information is made available via phone contact, mailing, the Insights newsletter, the Directory of Services, presentations to community groups, and the Council's Website.

The brand new Directory of Services is now available!

3rd Annual Celebrity Basketball Game

Thank you to everyone who supported the April 24th Celebrity Basketball Game! It was great fun and over $2,600 was raised for the Council’s charitable account with the Greene County Community Foundation.

Special thanks to our wonderful Announcer, Lee Duteil, who again did a fabulous job. We also thank our referees, Dale Dorsten and Ed Marrinan and the “Head Coach” Chief John Turner for sharing their time and expertise! Some other community members who made this a successful and entertaining event ~ National Anthem vocalist, Doug Lloyd; scorekeeper Mitch Adams; our very blonde cheerleaders, Krissi Fedkow and Susan Millward; and our favorite “steadies” Judy Baker, Ellen Slone, Fran Porter and Sheila DeWeese.

We enjoyed two exciting exhibition games - one with area coaches of a variety of sports and the other with lay pastors and community philanthropists. And believe it or not, many have already signed up to return in 2011! Our impressive atheletes included:
Perry Caldwell, Nathan Chivington, Dustin Crute, Dan Martin, Spencer Puterbaugh, Jeff Sampson, Brandon Salyers, Brian Cope, Dan Gudorf, Ryan Howard, Brandon Lewis, Joe Del’Aria, Tyrone Harrington, Simon Harrington, Stan C, Gerald Porter, III, Jeff Eyrich, Robert Eyrich, Fred Pumroy, Alan Puterbaugh, Perk Reichley, and Dan Shellabarger.

We also want thank the organizations who sponsored the event ~ Beavercreek Senior Center, Fairborn Senior Center, Fifth Third Bank, Fox & Hound at Fairfield Commons, Greene Oaks, Hillside Assisted Living, Hospitality Homes, Lofino’s, Max & Erma’s, McIlvaine Realtors, Nick’s in Xenia, Reichley Insurance, Russell & Company, Xenia Subway, and Xenia Adult Recreation & Service Center.
