Wednesday, May 3, 2017
The Older Americans Month event, “Oaklanders Age Out Loud,”
will be held in Frank Ogawa Plaza from
10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Community Resource Booths, live performances,
Art Show, shuttle service, and free lunch are just some of the
features you can look forward to on Wednesday.
When Older Americans Month was established in 1963, only 17 million
living Americans had reached their 65th birthday. About a third of older
Americans lived in poverty and there were few programs to meet their
needs. Interest in older Americans and their concerns was growing. A
meeting in April 1963 between President John F. Kennedy and members of
the National Council of Senior Citizens led to designating May as
“Senior Citizens Month,” the prelude to “Older Americans Month.”
Historically, Older Americans Month has been a time to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons to our country, in particular those who defended our country. Every President since Kennedy 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.
All of the artists are pleased that one of the ways Oakland
chose to honor older Americans was to sponsor
Voice Out Loud.
Look forward to seeing you.
