This year's theme, "Powered by Connection," <br />emphasizes the profound impact of meaningful interactions and social connection on the <br />well-being and health of older adults in our community. <br />We call upon all residents to join us in recognizing the contributions of our older citizens <br />and promoting programs and activities that foster connection, inclusion, and support for <br />older adults. <br />Adopted this 15th day of April 2024 <br />Stephen M.
