Hi All!
Welcome to May and Happy Older Americans Month. Every May, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM), a time to recognize older Americans’ contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm our commitment to serving older adults. The 2025 theme, Flip the Script on Aging, focuses on transforming how society perceives, talks about, and approaches aging. It encourages individuals and communities to challenge stereotypes and dispel misconceptions. This year, join us in honoring older adults’ contributions, exploring the many opportunities for staying active and engaged as we age, and highlighting the opportunities for purpose, exploration, and connections that come with aging.
At the Nahant Council on Aging, it is all about flipping the switch. Although aging in our culture is often equated with decline, the stereotypes we learned at an early age just are not true. There can be many challenges at any age. More and more we see the many contributions older residents make to our community. Our goal here is to provide as much support possible and to encourage all achievements big or small.
May is a busy month. We are traveling to Concord for lunch and then to Lexington to ride the Liberty Ride Trolley to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolution. There is limited seating so please call in advance to reserve your seat for both lunch and the trolley. We are also adding an extra music session to our sing along. Please check our events page for dates.
We celebrate Mother’s Day and Memorial Day with lunches in the Tiffany Room. Please join us and call to sign up. We travel to Lynn Tech and the Tiger’s Den for the end of the school year lunch. Reservations required. Lots to do this month and more to come. Let’s get cracking !
