May is Older American’s Month! This

year’s theme is Make Your Mark. This

theme was selected to encourage and celebrate countless contributions that older

adults make to our communities. Their time,

experience, and talents benefit family, peers,

and neighbors every day.

We can’t wait to

celebrate with you when we are back together!

Are you feeling bored? Do you miss the fun programs and activities from the Day Center? Are

you feeling a loss of connectedness? Say no more!

Well Connected is a resource for older adults to form a sense of community. It is free of charge to

all participants and available to those over the age of 60. Well Connected is a telephone and online

program offering activities, education, friendly

conversation, and an assortment of classes and support groups that is accessible to older adults

from the comfort of their own home.

Well Connected members can play games, learn a new language, attend a writer’s workshop, go on a

virtual tour, meditate, get support, and connect with others across the country!

If you are interested or want more information, please contact Shari, Natalie, Krystle, Kate or Orion

in Therapeutic Recreation.

Mental Health Awareness Month honors millions of people who have been diagnosed with

a mental illness. This holiday is dedicated to destigmatizing the negativity of mental health

and promotes support to those diagnosed, along with their families.

Jewish American History Month acknowledges the achievements of American Jews in fields

ranging from sports, arts, and entertainment to medicine, business, science, government,

military service, music, and more.
