very year since 1963, May has been the month to appreciate and celebrate the vitality and aspirations of older adults and their contributions and achievements. It is a proud tradition that shows our nation’s commitment to honor the value that elders continue to contribute to our communities. A meeting with the National Council of Senior Citizens resulted in President John F. Kennedy designating May 1963 as Senior Citizens Month, encouraging the nation to pay tribute to older people across the country. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter's proclamation changed the name to Older Americans Month, a time to celebrate those 65 and older through ceremonies, events, and public recognition. 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 Amer-
icans as productive, active, and influential members of society. Older Americans Month celebrations 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.
Every older American has a wealth of talents, experiences, and interests worth celebrating. Find a way to unleash the power of your age! Throughout the month of May, look for opportunities to show the vibrant life that you and your fellow older Americans lead.
