NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the Board of Weld County Commissioners that May 2025 be known as Older Americans Month. This year's theme, "Flip the Script on Aging," urges communities to challenge and change the stereotypes and misconceptions that surround growing older. We call upon all residents to join in recognizing the contributions of our older citizens and promoting programs and activities that foster connection, inclusion and support for all in the community.
