Hello Friends,
May is a month of celebration. It’s Older American’s Month, Mother’s Day, and we honor all those in military service who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom on Memorial Day. The theme of Older American’s Month this year is “Powered by Connection”. We hope that all of you recognize the profound impact that each of you brings to our COA through the power of your friendship with us. We are working very hard to bring more recognition to all of our connections and have many exciting things planned for you this month. Please take a moment to read through our newsletter for more information.
Once again, we invite all Veterans and their loved ones who are interested in participating in the Fairhaven’s Memorial Day Parade to let us know, we will meet at the Senior Center by 9:00 AM on Monday, May 27, 2024 to board the van.
As always, I hope you will reach out to the COA if you have a need, question, or help to navigate the programs and services available to elders, their families, and caregivers.
Stay well and take good care!
Martha
