BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (03/13/2020) – In an abundance of caution and to ensure the health and safety of senior participants and staff, we will transition to limited operations because we realize that our services are critical to the well-being of our seniors.

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (03/11/2020) – The East Baton Rouge Council on Aging regretfully announces the cancelation of our Annual Crawfish Boil that was previously scheduled for Thursday, April 9th from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm at the Capital City Event Center. In previous years, the Annual Crawfish Boil drew over a thousand seniors. This year EBRCOA anticipated 2,300 seniors would likely participate. Because of the large anticipated participation, the cancelation of the Crawfish Boil is a precaution to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
