Senior Centers are evolving to reflect a more empowered vision of aging.  We’re working to connect older adults with meaningful career and volunteer opportunities, increase their access to benefits and resources, and offer them tools to manage their health and finances.

Make a Connection – our 2009 theme – highlights how senior centers make a connection through art, movement, technology, generations and friends.  Celebrate the connections that are made at your senior center this September.

To help you plan Senior Center Month activities for September, we’ve assembled a special kit with these helpful resources:

• National Senior Center Week activity suggestions, sample press releases, calendar announcements, media advisories, letter to the editor, PSAs, letter to your elected representative, and more.
• One poster guaranteed to get attention--you can also buy extras and give as gifts to donors, city officials, and center friends.
• Printable cards, to use as a thank you for speakers or volunteers.

To help with your planning, each NISC member has received

• The communication guide by e-mail.
• One free poster by mail. 

You will also be able to order additional posters.

• Download the printable poster. (Right-click to save pdf to your desktop)
