May is Older Americans Month, with the 2019 theme being Connect, Create, Contribute. And lest you think this celebration is innately un-trendy, it includes a couple of hashtags as well: #ConnectCreateContribute and #OAM19.
The Administration for Community Living leads the observance and offers tips on how to celebrate.
The intent of the 3 C's is to Connect with friends, family and services that support participation; Create by engaging in activities that promote learning, health, and personal enrichment; and Contribute time, talent, and life experience to benefit others.
