The 9th Annual Age with Movement Celebration held on Friday, May 1st was a huge success.The event helped raise over $21,000 to support the Healthy Aging Association's senior health & fitness programs. Each year the event gets bigger and better. We feel fortunate to have the support of our community members and organizations.

We had nearly 400 attendees at the event moving and grooving throughout the morning. Adding the second walk at 10:00 AM allowed for later participation for many who could not attend the first walk at 8:00 AM. The exercise demonstrations provided options for older adults to stay active through a variety of activities and finding one that they enjoy. The FUNSTRUMMERS and The Quake Mobile DJ offered entertainment all morning long. The Shuttle Service provided by Dale Commons Assisted Living ran throughout the event shuttling participants to and from the church and the park. CSU Stanislaus Kinesiology Department provided fitness and health assessments to a number of attendees. The Fire Department was present to educate on home safety and Howard Training Center, Second Harvest Food Bank, along with Starbucks, provided the morning refreshments.

We are excited to share some of the publicity covered at the event and an awesome video that highlights the morning. Please click the red links below and enjoy :)

What is Older Americans Month?
  • Historically, Older Americans Month has been a time to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons to our country.
  • Every President since JFK has issued a formal proclamation during or before the month of May asking that the entire nation pay tribute in some way to older persons in their communities. 
  • Older Americans Month is celebrated across the country through ceremonies, events, fairs and other such activities.

  • In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Older Americans Act, ACL is focusing on how older adults are taking charge of their health, getting engaged in their communities, and making a positive impact in the lives of others. 
  • The theme for Older Americans Month 2015 is: Get into the Act.
  • Now is the time to Get into the Act to make the benefits of community living a reality for more older Americans. Together we can promote healthy aging, increase community involvement for older adults, and tackle important issues like the prevention of elder abuse. 

Idea's for Older Americans month

  • Community gardening and/or cooking—identify the activities that bring the generations together.
  • Exercise —support a fun fitness activity and lifelong recreation.
  • Educational programs for healthy living—encourage lifelong learning.
  • Recreational activities for older adults—encourage active living.
  • Volunteer recognition—honor older adults who make a difference.
