 Designated by President Kennedy as “Senior Citizens Month,” and later as “Older Americans Month” by President Carter, May is a time when area agencies on aging and community providers celebrate the contributions of Americans age 65+. This year’s theme: “Older Americans: Connecting the Community,” pays tribute to the
many ways older Americans bring “inspiration and  continuity” to their communities and the role technology plays in helping older individuals live “longer, healthier, and more engaged lives.”
 Home Helpers of LKN & Central NC has been particularly active with our local Senior Centers, as well as volunteering to assist other organizations active with Older Americans Month.  It's both fun and rewarding.  Take a moment to give a little of yourself this month.  We don't think you'll regret it. :-)
