For 57 years Older Americans Month has recognized the contributions of the growing Older American population.

We are inviting you to come and share this fun-filled day with Seniors from the DETCOG 11-County region. We encourage you to come to participate; there will be information on public benefits, Medicare, and community and health programs at the health fair.
