Senior Citizens Day is the cornerstone of Older Americans Month. It is a special day for communities to come together across generations and celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of our elders.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Senior Citizens Day in Ohio.
Communities throughout the state will mark this day with special activities that engage all generations.
Seniors today are living longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives through a combination of personal responsibility, healthy choices and community supports.
Older Ohioans inspire family members, neighbors and community leaders by striving to be their best in body, mind and spirit.
The Ohio Department of Aging and Ohio's aging network serve and advocate for two million Ohioans who are age 60 or older. They make available an array of supports, services and opportunities for older Ohioans to maintain or enhance their physical health, stretch and challenge their minds, and express their spirits through community involvement.
FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS, I, TED STRICKLAND, Governor of the State of Ohio, join the aging network in thanking our senior citizens for being positive role models for all generations and do hereby proclaim MAY 15, 2007 as SENIOR CITIZENS DAY
throughout the state of Ohio. I urge all Ohioans and communities to celebrate and congratulate our elders for their accomplishments and express our gratitude for the examples they set.
On this 15th day of May, 2007;
Ted Strickland
Governor
