Older Americans Month: Communities of StrengthIn tough times, communities find strength in people—and people find strength in their

communities. In the past year, we’ve seen this time and again in Aurora as friends, neighbors, andbusinesses have found new ways to support each other.

In our community, older adults are a key source of this strength. Through their experiences,successes, and difficulties, they have built resilience that helps them to face new challenges.

When communities tap into this, they become stronger too.

Each May, the Administration for Community Living leads the celebration of Older AmericansMonth (OAM). This year’s theme is Communities of Strength, recognizing the important role olderadults play in fostering the connection and engagement that build strong, resilient communities.

Strength is built and shown not only by bold acts, but also small ones of day-to-day life, a

conversation shared with a friend, working in the garden, trying a new recipe, or taking time for acup of tea on a busy day. And when we share these activities with others—even virtually or by

telling about the experience later—we help them build resilience too.

This year, Aurora Seniors will celebrate OAM by encouraging community members to share theirexperiences. Together, we can find strength—and create a stronger future.

Here are some ways to share and connect:

• Look for joy in the everyday: Celebrate small moments and ordinary pleasures by taking time torecognize them. Start a gratitude journal and share it with others via social media, or call a friend

or family member to share a happy moment or to say thank you. • Reach out to neighbors: Even if you can’t get together in person right now, you can still connect

with your neighbors. Leave a small gift on their doorstep, offer to help with outdoor chores, ordeliver a homecooked meal.

• Build new skills: Learning something new allows us to practice overcoming challenges. Take anart course online or try a socially distanced outdoor movement class to enjoy learning with others

in your community. Have a skill to share? Find an opportunity to teach someone, even casually.• Share your story: There’s a reason storytelling is a time-honored activity. Hearing how others

experience the world helps us grow. Interviewing family, friends, and neighbors can open up newconversations and strengthen our connections.

When people of different ages, backgrounds, abilities, and talents share experiences—through

action, story, or service—we help build strong communities. And that’s something to celebrate!
