OLDER AMERICANS MONTH When Older Americans Month was

established in 1963, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthdays. About a third of older Americans lived in poverty and there were few programs to meet their needs. Interest in older Americans and their concerns was growing, however. In April of 1963, President John F. Kennedy's meeting with the National Council of Senior Citizens served as a prelude to designating May as "Senior Citizens Month."

Thanks to President Jimmy Carter's 1980 designation, what was once called Senior Citizens Month, is now called "Older Americans Month," and has become a tradition.

Historically, Older Americans Month has been a time to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons to our country, in particular those who defended our country. Every President since JFK has issued a formal proclamation during or before the month of May asking that the entire nation pay tribute in some way to older persons in their communities. Older Americans Month is celebrated across the country through ceremonies, events, fairs and other such activities.

Each year the Administration on Aging (AoA) issues a theme for Older Americans Month to assist our National Aging Services Network of state, tribal, area agencies on aging, and community services providers plan for activities that might take place in May or throughout the year. This year's theme "Age Strong! Live Long!" recognizes the diversity and vitality of today's older Americans who span three generations. UCD HOSTS LECTURES FOR OLDER AMERICANS MONTH

In observance of Older Americans Month, the UC Davis Retiree Center is sponsoring two noon speakers during the month of May. Whether you are concerned about your own health in the

10 Creating Community Through People, Parks & Programs

years ahead, or you are caring for an aging loved one, these programs will provide important information. An Ounce of Prevention: Recommendations for Healthy Aging

Tuesday, May 18, noon – 1 p.m. Cancer Center Auditorium, UC Davis Health

System, Sacramento, CA

Health screenings and immunizations play an important role in preventing disease as you age. This talk by Dr. Huey Lin will include a discussion of current recommendations for older adults, with particular emphasis on the research done to support the current guidelines for cancer and osteoporosis screening. Dr. Lin is an assistant professor at the UC Davis Health System. His professional interests include teaching medical students and residents in geriatric care, delivery of health care in long-term care facilities, and fall and injury prevention in the elderly. 

Harmless Aging Friday, May 21, noon – 1 p.m. Cabernet Room (Silo Building), UC Davis main

campus, Davis, CA

Aging is a normal process, but sickness is not. Everyone gets older, but you don’t have to get “old.” Dr. Herbert Bauer, a centenarian, shares his ideas for maintaining good health as you age. Dr. Bauer, 100 years young, is a former Yolo County Public Health Officer and psychiatrist. Dr. Bauer initiated the first Family Services Agency of Yolo County and joined in organizing the Suicide Prevention and Crisis Services in Yolo County. Dr. Bauer taught in the UC Davis Department of Community Health, King Law School, and in the UC Davis Health System. 

These talks are open to the public and there is no charge to attend, although there is a charge to park at either campus. Additional details, including driving and parking directions, can be found on the UC Davis Retiree Center website, http://retireecenter.ucdavis.edu If you have questions, please contact the Center at retireecenter@ucdavis.edu or call (530) 752-5182.

Genealogical searches on the Internet are yielding extraordinary results. FamilySearch.org is a free website which is easily searchable. Recently the folks at Family Search have created a pilot web site that allows family history researchers an opportunity to retrieve actual images of historical documents pertaining to their ancestors.

Our speaker, Lorenzo Cuesta, a long-time family historian, will guide us through the process of searching for our ancestors. He has many tips to share which will make the best use of our research time and garner excellent results. Please join us on Monday, May 24 at 1:00 p.m. at the Davis Senior Center for our monthly meeting and this informative presentation on FamilySearch.Org. Guests are most welcome and encouraged to attend! Remember, too, our library remains open to the public on Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Volunteers are available during these hours to help with questions. Our library is very well stocked with genealogy-related books and computers for Internet research. To learn more about the Davis Genealogy Club and Library, visit our website at www.davisgenealogy.org. or call Lisa Henderson at 530-753-8943.
