Deadline to nominate: Friday, May 6
Older Americans Month is celebrated each May to acknowledge the contributions of older adults to this nation and their communities. The national theme for Older Americans Month in 2016 is "Blaze a Trail" which emphasizes that older adults are continuing with new interests, engaging their communities and having a positive impact on the lives of people of all ages.
To celebrate each Older Americans Month, the Warren County Aging Services Advisory Council annually conducts a county-wide search for an older adult to honor with the Mary Louise Christine Outstanding Senior Citizen of Warren County Award. The council seeks your help in identifying a Warren County senior whose volunteer service has benefited their community in a special way to the extent that you feel they are deserving of this distinction.
