Lee County Council On Aging
100 West Second St. Dixon, Illinois 61021
Here at Lee County Council On Aging, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the community a better place for all. Lee County Council on Aging is a multi-purpose non-profit social service agency offering an array of programs and services to Lee County residents. Programs are focused on, but not limited to seniors, low income and minority individuals.
What does Phase 4 mean for LCCOA?
From information released this week by the Illinois Department of Commerce,
the first three guidelines are:
1. Wear face masks in presence of others;
2. Maintain social distance of at least 6 feet;
3. Frequent handwashing required.
Also mentioned in the brochure are:
Display visual markers 6 feet apart;
Limit occupancy of common areas;
Minimize in-person meetings;
If necessary, limit to 50 people with social distancing.
As a result, we here at LCCOA are prevented from opening our doors yet, for activities like card-playing, table games, or even a crafters' get-together.
We just haven't found a way to play cards or table games, while sitting 6 feet apart.
We really do miss all of the Seniors who have come here for recreation, socializing, laughs and friendships, or just for the coffee. And we look forward to having everyone back soon!
