show, and Bob will be happy to offer comments. While

The location gets full sunshine. With the use of trellises it is possible to grow crops like beans over a small plot of land.

OlderAmericansMonth2018:

“EngageatEveryAge”!

Across the country, older Americans – a rapidly growing population – are taking part in activities that promote wellness and social connec-tion. They are sharing their wisdom and experience with future generations, and they are giving back to make enrich their communities. They’re working and volunteering, mentoring and learning, leading and engaging.

For 55 years, Older Americans Month (OAM) has been observed to recognize older Americans and their contributions to our communities. Led by the Administration for Community Living’s Administra-tion on Aging, every May offers opportunity to hear from, support, and celebrate our nation’s elders. This year’s OAM theme, “Engage at Every Age,” emphasizes the importance of being active and in-volved, no matter where or when you are in life. You are never too old (or too young) to participate in activities that can enrich your physical, mental, and emotion well-being.

It is becoming more apparent that remaining social-ly engaged can improve the quality of life for older adults. The Council on Aging in Marshfield will use OAM 2018 to focus on how older adults in our area are engaging with friends and family, and through various community activities. Throughout the month, the Council on Aging will conduct activities and share information designed to highlight seniors in action. We encourage you to get involved in Marshfield by participation in the many activities such as our Annual Health Fair, Lifelong Learning, Development of our outdoor Recreation Plan, cul-tural trips, Elder Law Month’s Workshop, support groups and more. Congratulations to our seniors in Marshfield for engaging! (Source: Administration on Aging)
