HAPPY OLDER AMERICANS MONTH!

Each May, we celebrate Older Americans Month to recognize older Americans for their contributions to the nation. This year, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Older Americans Act (OAA), we are focusing on how older adults are taking charge of their health, getting engaged in their communities, and making a positive impact in the lives of others. The theme for Older Americans Month 2015 is Get into the Act.


The Presidental Proclamation about Older Americans Month is President Obama's contribution to the annual opening of the month, and also is a reminder that it's the 80th anniversary of Social Security as well.

More importantly, tomorrow is the first day of the 40th Annual Oklahoma Conference on Aging! May 5th is free for seniors 60 and older, and everyone is encouraged to attend!
