Summary
Tiffany Howard of Stimulate America described a free senior program series and asked to partner with Conyers to host events providing socialization, basic tech help and resource fairs for older residents.
Tiffany Howard, founder of Stimulate America, addressed the Conyers City Council during public comment to introduce the nonprofit’s Magnolia Club initiative for seniors and to seek partnership with the city to host future events.
Howard said the Magnolia Club is free to residents age 60 and older and provides “resources, education, and aid” to seniors affected by economic strain. She summarized recent programming: a Valentine’s Day candlelight concert in February that served 350 seniors and a slate of planned events including a “Retro Recall” trivia program and a session on cell-phone basics sponsored by T‑Mobile.
Howard said Stimulate America has run dozens of events since 2019 and wants to expand Magnolia Club programming into Conyers, partnering with local businesses and suppliers to include giveaways and to support small local vendors. She said she has discussed in-person distribution of donated eggs with a local supplier and handed informational materials to council members.
Council members acknowledged Howard’s presentation during the public comment period and signaled interest in staff follow-up; the mayor and staff noted that city staff will contact speakers after the meeting using the contact information provided to the clerk.
