CEO Discusses Boomers, Agency Programs on WHBC Radio Appearance

CEO Teresa Barry discussed the aging baby boomer generation and the services offered by Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties during a radio appearance this morning in Canton.

Terri appeared with host Ron Ponder on "Points to Ponder," which airs weekday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on NewsTalk 1480, WHBC-AM. The station has dominated local ratings in Stark County for decades.

Ron and Terri discussed her recent op-ed piece published in The Repository, the daily newspaper in Canton, in which she outlined the challenges presented by an aging baby boom generation that will enter retirement age starting in 2011. For the two decades that follow, a larger number of retirees will place an increasing burden on Social Security and other entitlement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.

The two also discussed Meals On Wheels and the work being done both locally and nationally, including Terri's contributions the past two years as chairman of the board of the Meals On Wheels Association of America.

The segment featuring Terri ran during the last portion of the show, from 11:35 to 12 noon.
