County to honor "Centenarians"
Those 100 years young invited to celebrate
FREEHOLD, NJ - In celebration of Older Americans Month in May, Monmouth County is honoring and commemorating Monmouth County residents reaching the hallmark age of 100.
In partnership with Monmouth County Office on Aging, Regency Park Post-Acute, Rehab and Nursing Center is proud to host their annual luncheon for those residents of Monmouth County who will be 100 years of age and older in 2016.
“Centenarians possess much knowledge and have achieved much more than their age,” said Freeholder P. Curley, liaison to the Human Services Department. “We honor them not only for their longevity, but also for sharing their wisdom and talents. There is much to be learned from a generation that has lived through the Great Depression, world wars, prosperity and conflict. They are living history books with volumes of knowledge to share.”
All Monmouth County “celebrity” residents are invited for a complimentary luncheon and a day that will be filled with music, gifts, and a birthday cake. Monmouth County Freeholders will be in attendance to present our guests of honor with proclamations commemorating their centenarian status. The event will take place on Monday, May 9 at noon at Regency Park, 3325 Highway 35, Hazlet, New Jersey.
Marie Barnes, Marketing and Public Relations Director for Regency, stated, “This is a wonderful opportunity for Centenarians and their families to gather and share their stories and wisdom which are truly amazing. Regency is honored to co-host this event with the Monmouth County Office on Aging.”
If you know of a Centenarian who would like to attend this great celebration of life, please send their name, address, and phone number to the Monmouth County Division on Aging, Disabilities and Veterans Services at 3000 Kozloski Road Freehold, NJ 07728. Or you may call the office at 732-431-7450 and ask for Maureen Crosbie.
