Summary:

summary

 

May is Older American’s Month.

 

A meeting in April 1963 between President John F. Kennedy and members of the National Council of Senior Citizens led to designating May as “Senior Citizens Month,” the prelude to “Older Americans Month.”  The month is a time to celebrate the contributions seniors make to their communities.  A proclamation declaring the month of May as Older American’s Month is presented for the Board’s consideration.
