ROCKVILLE, Md., March 6, 2020—The Montgomery County Council has postponed a senior town hall meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday, March 11 at 8 a.m. at Leisure World in Silver Spring.
Connecting seniors with county resources is an essential element of the Council’s senior town halls.

Montgomery County government is currently on active status which means that local government resources are focused on the health and safety issues associated with COVID-19. Given these recent developments, the Council is postponing the Leisure World town hall to a later date.
