our nation’s observance of
Older Americans Month. The
2019 theme, Connect, Create,
Contribute, encourages older
adults and their communities to:
•Connect with friends, family,
and services that support
participation.
•Create by engaging in
activities that promote
learning, health, and personal
enrichment.
•Contribute time, talent, and
life experience to benefit others.
By engaging and supporting
all community members, we
recognize that older adults
play a key role in the vitality
of our neighborhoods,
networks, and lives.
The webpage sited will include
suggestions, resources, and
material to celebrate older
Americans and the communities
of which they are a vital
part. Everyone benefits when
