May 2021: May is Older Americans Month

​​Senior Citizens Legal Services (SCLS) invites you to pause a moment in your day and honor the elders that have guided you through your lifetime.  Your teachers, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. All those who learned their life lessons some years before you and did their best to share their wisdom. We all have an inherent duty to protect the elders in our lives, just as we would a young child. SCLS does our part to help seniors live decent lives free from abuse or neglect or discrimination. And we can't do it without your help! Please consider a donation to our organization, in any amount.  Donations above $120 (just ten dollars a month) can be made in honor of the elder you choose and will be listed as such on the donation page of our SCLS website (please list the name of the elder you wish to honor in the 'Message of Support' section of donation page).

May is Older Americans Month and each year in May Senior Rally Day, a day of legislative advocacy and action, occurs to coincide with Older Americans Month. Today is Senior Rally Day and Senior Citizens Legal Services will be attending Senior Rally Day in order to help raise awareness among legislators and the Governor about senior issues during the time period when the May revision of the Governor’s annual budget is being finalized.
​
The event will be recorded and shared later on Facebook. We look forward to providing updates for you on the status of the Governor's Master Plan for Aging and the State Budget.
