This
year’s theme of Communities of Strength celebrates the strength of older adults with special emphasis on the
power of connection and engagement in building strong communities. When we share with others—even virtually or by telling about the experience later—we help build resilience.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating older adults and building strength in the community! See the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners declaration of May, 2021 as Older Americans Month in Kitsap County!
