Washoe County's Blind Spot: Senior Citizens

Emailed notifications from Washoe County Human Services Agency today regarding the Senior Volunteer Fair - that it is today. Then their correction 35-minutes later, it is January 28, 2025.

Picon was sadly amused today to get an update about the Senior Volunteer Fair on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, from 10AM to 12PM, according to the flyer Washoe County Human Services Agency pushed out about a month ago.

Washoe County sent us a reminder at 9:02AM that the Senior Volunteers fair is TODAY, September 21st from 10AM to 2PM.

But, wait, then they issued a correction at 9:37AM that the fair is on January 28th from 10AM to 2PM.

What day? What time?

Is the county flyer correct, or have the hours been expanded?

Washoe County Human Services Agency flyer for the Senior Volunteer Fair - are the hours correct?

This incident prompts a reflection on the broader issue of how senior citizens are constantly overlooked or not given the priority they rightfully deserve by Washoe County.

The email snafu is a perfect example Washoe County Senior Citizens are an afterthought to county employees, you know, the very employees that are specifically hired to work with seniors.
