INEZ — Martin County Senior Citizens Center is celebrating Older Americans Month in May with activities to help foster lifelong enrichment in a social and uplifting atmosphere.

Led by the Administration for Community Living, Older Americans Month is celebrated annually. This year’s theme, “Aging Unbound,” means older Americans will celebrate their ability to explore various experiences contrary to the stereotypes about aging.

The senior citizens center strives to promote flexible thinking while keeping older residents engaged and independent.

On May 10, participants at the center played bingo and cornhole. They enjoyed a fresh salad from the hydroponic system donated by the University of Kentucky. After lunch, they enjoyed making and eating ice cream sundaes.

Participants attended Senior Games Bowling held May 12 in Prestonsburg. They made it a good day by eating Mexican food and visiting a local greenhouse to buy flowers.

MCSCC director Jennifer Crum invites everyone to the center in Inez for lunch Monday-Friday between 11 a.m.-noon. If you have any questions, you can call Crum at (606) 298-3459.
