Montana Centenarian's Program
The Governors Advisory Council on Aging would like to recognize all Montanan’s that are 100 years of age or older, centenarians, at their 39th annual conference May 22nd, 23rd and 24th in Helena.
The theme of the conference is: The Many Faces of Aging. Montana’s 2000 census showed that we had 162 centenarians and it is estimated by 2025, we will have over 3,000. By recognizing our eldest of the elders and honoring them we hope to raise the public’s awareness of the baby boom generation which is turning 60 years old this year.
Any centenarians who are able come to the conference we will recognize them at our Centenarians luncheon. We are particularly hoping that our oldest Montanan would be able to attend. All centenarians’ who reply will receive a centenarian’s recognition proclamation from the Governors Advisory Council on Aging.
If you are a centenarian or are aware of one and would like them to be recognized, please supply us the following information by April 30th, 2007. We would also like to get a good, non-Polaroid photo and replies to the following questions.
1. Their name and address.
2. Where and when were they born? If not born in Montana, what is their story on how they got to Montana?
3. What is their secrete to longevity?
4. What has been the most amazing event in their life that they would like to share?
