Subject: | September as Senior Center Month |
We will soon introduce a resolution recognizing September 2024 as "Senior Center Month" in Pennsylvania. This year’s theme for National Senior Center Month is “Powering Connections” and with nearly 500 senior centers across the Commonwealth, there is a need to recognize the importance that meaningful relationships and social connections have on health and well-being. Our senior centers offer a variety of important programs to help our older friends, neighbors, and loved ones stay happy, healthy, productive, and empowered in their golden years. From providing nutritious meals to organizing social activities to offering health screenings, exercise programs, and art classes, they are central to the well-being of our aging population. And of course, these centers would not be possible without the compassionate staff, dedicated volunteers, and generous supporters who keep them running. Please join us in designating September 2024 as "Senior Center Month" in Pennsylvania. |
