Celebrating Older Americans Month 2003
“What We Do Makes A Difference.”

Our nation has set aside the month of May to pay tribute to older Americans. We are proud to continue this time-honored tradition. This year’s theme, “What we do makes a difference,” was developed to recognize the significant contributions older persons make to our communities and our nation. Older Americans share their experience, perspective, and wisdom with younger generations.

Older Americans are healthier than ever before. They also actively participate in their communities to improve the lives of others and society as a whole. If you are an Older American, we salute you for the many ways you enrich the lives of others.

Older Americans can benefit from the many services available through AoA funded programs and services to help them stay healthy or find the help they need. AoA works with a nationwide network of federal, state, and local agencies to make support services and resources available to older persons and their caregivers. During Older Americans Month in May, find out more about ways to become engaged in your community or locate programs and services by contacting the Eldercare Locator at www.eldercare.gov or calling 1-800-677-1116.
