May is Older Americans Month
This year's Older Americans Month theme - "Unleash the Power of Age!" - emphasizes the important role of older adults.  This May, communities across the nation will recognize older Americans as productive, active, and influential members of society.

Older Americans Month celebrations will acknowledge the value that older adults continue to bring to our communities by making an effort to applaud recent achievements of local elders and inviting them to share the activities they do to unleash the power of age.
