Engage at Every Age
At Surrey, we love to celebrate accomplishments – large and small. This month provides us with a special reason to celebrate. May is Older Americans month! We have a lot to celebrate in Pennsylvania because more than 32% of our population is older than 55. To put this in perspective Pennsylvania has one of the highest populations over 55 in the country.
This year’s slogan is Engage at Every Age, meaning you are never too old (or too young) to take part in activities that can enrich your physical, mental and emotional well being. I think this describes Surrey perfectly. We have volunteers and members who are constantly trying new things at all different points in their lives.
It is rewarding to hear how much participants of More Fun with Opera & Classical Music in Devon en-joy the class. The perseverance is admirable of the people who attend Sip and Swipe in Havertown, learning to use an iPad or those who come to Surrey Technology Days because they are determined to master the use of their tablet or smartphone. I am awed by the people who come to exercise class using their walkers or canes because they want to stay ac-tive and live healthier lives.
I’ve been inspired by Engage at Every Age to really look at every age. One of my personal goals for next year is to encourage more intergenerational pro-grams. We are fortunate to have families and stu-dents who volunteer at Surrey. The rapport that occurs when these groups and our members are together is amazing.
