LIBERTY, NY (March 15, 2011) – Sullivan County TRIAD, during their February meeting, presented flowers and a certificate of thanks to Kaytee Warren (at left in photo with , Executive Director of the United Way of Sullivan County for funding TRIAD’S LIFE FILE.

Thanks to their Community Impact Initiative of $1500, over 1200 LIFE FILES were produced to benefit Sullivan County seniors.

The LIFE FILE assists seniors by organizing their important estate matters (summarizing their legal, financial and insurance information) and helps them plan ahead, as well as assisting their survivors by acting as a central place to find vital information.

Seniors can pick up a LIFE FILE and get more information on how to complete the LIFE FILE at the Office for the Aging (100 North Street, Monticello, 845-807-0241) and Cornell Cooperative Extension (64 Ferndale-Loomis Road, Liberty, 845-292-5250).

TRIAD (a partnership of senior representatives, law enforcement and senior advocates from over twenty area agencies) meets quarterly (January, April, July and October) on the last Friday of that month at Cornell Cooperative Extension.

TRIAD’s mission is to prevent elder abuse, and works to maintain and improve the quality of life for Sullivan County senior citizens.

Sullivan County residents interested in joining TRIAD are encouraged to call Cornell Cooperative Extension at 845-292-5250 to speak to Bonnie Lewis.
