Commissioner Jody Shadduck-McNally to honor people 100 years and older
Older adults who have achieved the age of 100 or older (centenarians) will be honored at the 2021 Centenarian Project Celebration Event on Sept. 24. Centenarians will be awarded with certificates prepared by the Colorado Commission on Aging (CCOA) and signed by Colorado Governor Jared Polis.
The certificates will be presented by commission members during the celebration program which includes lunch and a birthday cake. Larimer County Commissioner Jody Shadduck-McNally will keynote the event.
The Centenarian Project is a promotional activity of the Colorado Commission on Aging (CCOA) to celebrate the lives of centenarians across the state, recognize their individual century of achievement, and focus the attention of all Coloradans on the political and social issues of aging. The celebration event will begin at 10 a.m. at the Fort Collins Senior Center, 1200 Raintree Drive, Fort Collins.
Demographics show that centenarians are increasing in number, and the CCOA wants to know them individually so they can be honored for their lifetime of achievement.
Community members are encouraged to submit family members, friends, or acquaintances who have had or will have birthdays marking their 100 years of life or older age before or on Dec. 31, 2021, please apply at https://bit.ly/3xx9LcU or go to the Colorado Commission on Aging website and select the link for the application.
