It’s May, and Stoughton has a lot to celebrate! This year’s Older American’s Month’s focus is 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. -It isn’t hard to see how older adults are achieving this as participants at our local Senior Center every day and throughout town during Syttende Mai! We invite you read on for the history of Older American’s Month along with the 50-year old Older American’s Act, as well as for our latest program and service offerings. This May, and everyday, we invite you to Get into the Act!
