Every May, the Administration on Aging, part of the Administration for Community Living, leads our nation’s observance of Older American’s Month. The 2018 theme,Engage at Every Age, emphasizes that you are never too old (or young) to take part in activities that can enrich your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It also celebrates the many ways in which older adults make a difference in our communities.
Throughout the month of May, the Miami-Dade Age-Friendly Initiative and partners will be promoting and celebrating Older Americans Month!Join us on May 9th for a Mini Resource Fair & Raffle at Stephen P. Clark Government Center! Click here for more details.
