FOCUS ON THE FUTURE
Welcome to The Friends of the Dover Council on Aging, the organization that raises money to help support the services and programs of the Dover COA.
This is where you will be able to find out about the events and activities we are planning, as well as to find recaps of our most recent programs.
Each year we present two or three large fund-raisers, in addition to several smaller events such as lectures, concerts, or receptions. We have a town-wide membership drive every December. Please check this website often for the most recent information about our activities.
We invite everyone to join us in our work by becoming a member, making a donation, or by volunteering to help with one of our events. Seniors, their family members, friends, and neighbors are all encouraged to join; you don't have to live in Dover, you don't have to be a senior. You just have to care about our community.
