Montana Centenarian's Program
The Governor’s Advisory Council on Aging would like to honor all Montanan’s that are 100 years of age or older, or will turn 100 this year, centenarians, at the 40th annual Governors’ Conference on Aging May 20th, 21st and 22nd 2008 in Helena, at the Colonial Red Lion Motel.
The theme of the conference is: Creative Aging - A Community Challenge. 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 62 years old this year.
If any Centenarian’s are able to attend the conference on Tuesday May 20th, we will honor 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, 2008. 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 secret to longevity?
4. What has been the most wonderful or amazing event in their life that they would like to share?
5. What would their favorite quote be?
6. Anything else they would like us to know?
7. Will they be attending the luncheon? Please RSVP if possible.
