SUBJECT : California Senior Center Month.
SUMMARY : Declares the month of November 2011 as California
Senior Center Month in recognition of the importance of senior
centers to California's older adult population. Specifically,
this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1)California is home to more than 700 senior centers that
provide information, assistance, and support to the state's
older adult population.
2)Senior centers are a safe and welcoming place where seniors
can get nutritious meals, health care, educational
opportunities, fitness and recreation activities, legal
assistance, social opportunities and community involvement.
3)In 2009, the California Commission on Aging hosted the first
statewide Senior Center Stakeholder Forum, which brought
together many senior center leaders and staff together to
explore the future possibilities for senior centers.
4)The California Commission on Aging host a 2nd Senior Center
Forum in November 2011 with the hope of continuing the ongoing
interest in senior center innovations and program
developments.
