On May 22, Marcie O'Neal visited the Christian County Senior Center to deliver handmade greeting cards to participants. The cards were part of an intergenerational project organized by the Western Kentucky Senior Su***de Prevention Network. BETA Club members from high schools throughout the region helped decorate the cards with the goal of brightening the seniors’ day. The thoughtful gesture was warmly received, and the seniors were delighted with their handmade cards.

Throughout May, we celebrated Older Americans Month by honoring the wisdom, strength, and contributions of older adults across the Pennyrile region. 🎉
This year’s theme, “Champion Your Health,” encouraged older adults to stay active, connected, and engaged through wellness, community involvement, and healthy living.
From cookouts and games to exercise classes and social events, our senior centers brought people together in meaningful ways all month long.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration special, especially the older adults who continue to inspire our communities every day.
