Comments:
Since its founding in the fall of 2003, the CAAR is still in the process of formulating all aspects of its mission, and encourages contacts from older adults, retirees, and others including caregivers, and other organizations that serve these people, to find ways the Center may be of service in improving the quality of life for all Grand Strand older adults, seniors, retirees and others and especially with programs for active lifestyles
