Iowa's First LifeLong Links Center for Community Living will celebrate its opening with an Open House from noon until 2:00 p.m. Thursday at 607 Washington Street in Decorah.

The Spectrum Network, County Social Services (CSS), Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging (NEI3A), Plugged-In Iowa, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) are joining together to support older persons and persons with disabilities to give them greater opportunities within their communities and remain independent.

"This collaborative effort allows our organizations to optimize our resources by sharing staff and space which results in reduced costs and increased support for our consumers," stated Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging CEO Donna Harvey.
