The Friends of the Sherborn COA is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to raise
charitable donations to enhance the Council on Aging (COA) programs and services for
Sherborn seniors.
Funds have been raised to help support COA program, which include:
• Lifetime Learning Series—the COA’s multigenerational classes, which are offered in the
Spring and the Fall. Courses vary each semester and programs have included
Philosophy, American Song, Powering America’s Future, Digital Photography, the Art of
Drawing and more. Speakers include local experts, and the teaching staff of Wellesley
College, New England Aquarium, and Broadmoor Audubon Society. (This semester’s
course schedule can be found under “Lifetime Learning”)
• Respite Care—Financial assistance to provide “in home care” will be provided to
Sherborn families who are serving as primary caregivers for senior family members. This
will provide the gift of time to a husband, a wife, son or daughter who need some well-
deserved “me” time.
• Transportation—the Friends will provide transportation vouchers for Sherborn seniors
who may needs some financial assistance in paying for transportation services either
locally or for medical transportation to Boston.
