A video <br /> rental /sales dealer provided at no charge video films for viewing . The <br /> three recreation departments agreed to sponsor and promote the movie series <br /> and be .a local contact point for registration . A permanent planning com- <br /> mittee was •established to work up the yearly series which was composed of <br /> representatives frcm each of the sponsor'7.g groups . <br /> COUNTY ROLE: <br /> The Orange County Department on Aging originated the program ideas for the <br /> Village Elders Lecture Series and the Saturday movie program with lunch .
