Annual Active Aging Week, October 5-11

Active Aging Week (AAW) is an international week-long campaign celebrating the positivity of aging and active living. Montgomery County has participated in AAW since 2018.

Senior centers, recreation centers, hospitals, libraries, agencies, and community organizations throughout the County already host various special events and programs that showcase opportunities for growing, learning, having fun, and staying fit as we age. Montgomery County's AAW Committee is looking for events for the 55+ population.

Each agency is encouraged to submit at least two activities or programs to be included in the County’s calendar of events. We hope these programs will be free to the public.

Submit your activities by August 5: https://forms.gle/Bg3AjpofrkKiEtE9A

This is a Montgomery County, Maryland announcement.

"This is a wonderful campaign, Roy. Active Aging Week is such a fantastic way to highlight the incredible resources, senior centers, and community programs available to residents. Staying active, connected, and engaged makes a world of difference as we age. Thanks for sharing the announcement and the important deadline for event submissions—and that amaryllis photograph is absolutely beautiful!"

Thanks for tip Roy. The "Active Aging" groups sound more fun than the "Inactive Aging" groups. Just sayin'...You keep up with everything going on. Amazing. Jeff

It is good for people to stay active while aging.  If you don't move it, you could lose it, haha.
