May is Older Americans Month
Never too old to play!
In 1963, President John F. Kennedy began the tradition of setting aside the month of May in
honor of our country's older Americans, and every President since then has continued this great
tradition.
In honor of Older Americans Month, Human Services will be hosting several presentations throughout the month. Check out our newsletter for details on all the events happening in May.
