SUBJECT: ESTABLISH THE MONTH OF MAY, 1996 AS OLDER AMERICANS' MONTH AND
OLDER CALIFORNIANS' MONTH
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Establish the month of May, 1996 as Older Americans' and Older Californians' Month.
1I. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Traditionally the President of the United States and the Governor of California have
declared May as Older Americans' Month and Older Californians' Month.
The Administration on Aging, Department of Health& Human Services has developed a
theme for this year entitled "Aging: A Lifetime Opportunity." This theme was selected
for a number of key reasons. First, it recognizes the millions of seniors who truly have
made the most of growing older by continuing to make invaluable contributions to their
families,their places of worship, their communities and society as a whole. And second,
it encourages all of us, regardless of our age, to view growing older as a gift, something
we can look forward to and take concrete steps to prepare for throughout our entire lives.
The Social Service Department for its Office on Aging would like to express appreciation
and gratitude to the over 140,000 persons age 60+ in the county and for their many
contributions to the growth and development of our nation, state, and county by
recommending that the month of May, 1996 be designated Older Americans' and Older
Californians' Month.
