The 2018 theme for Older Americans Month is Engage at Every Age.

Other participating counties are: Baker, Calhoun, Colquitt, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Lee, Miller, Mitchell, Seminole, Terrell, Thomas, and Worth.
Older Americans Month has been held each May since 1963 when it was originated by President John F. Kennedy to acknowledge the contributions of past or current older persons in our country.
