CHARLESTON - U.S. Eighth District Representative Jo Ann Emerson will discuss issues relating to seniors in Southeast Missouri on Friday.
Emerson will attend a Senior Issues Coffee from 9-10:30 a.m. Friday at the Bowden Center, 700 Elm St.
The event is hosted by Experience Works Inc., a national, charitable, community-based organization that helps seniors get the training they need to find good jobs in their local communities.
"We are very pleased to partner with Representative Emerson to provide an opportunity for her to meet with area residents," said Experience Works Missouri/Illinois Regional Director Janice Bramwell.
Originally named Green Thumb, and chartered in 1965 as a small, rural demonstration program, Experience Works has grown to be the nation's leading provider of training, employment, and community service for low-income seniors 55 and older.
