Annual Salute to Seniors Returns May 30

In celebration of Older Americans Month, Westchester County is holding its 56th Annual Salute to Seniors event at the Westchester County Center on Thursday, May 30 from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm. Salute to Seniors is an opportunity for businesses and non-profit organizations to showcase their products and services to more than 2,000 seniors across the County.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “I am excited that our annual Salute to Seniors event is returning to the Westchester County Center. Salute to Seniors is our premier event in the County for the senior community, and we look forward to an event that will foster connections and provide access to programs, services, and resources for seniors to stay healthy and maintain their independence.”

Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services Commissioner Mae Carpenter said: “Our Salute to Seniors event is an opportunity to celebrate our seniors throughout the County while providing an environment of fun for them to explore aging. This year’s theme, Powered by Connections, aligns with our Salute to Seniors event as we connect our senior population with access to available programs and resources for them to thrive and maintain their quality of life.”

Attendees will have an opportunity to connect with companies and organizations such as recreational groups, residential and health care facilities, government offices, wellness activities, hospitals, assisted living centers, financial providers, social service resources and more. In addition to exhibitors, there will be demonstrations, workshops, and live entertainment to enjoy.

This year’s Salute to Seniors events is sponsored by the Westchester County Senior Programs and Services (DSPS); Westchester County Parks, Recreation and Conservation; Westchester County Department of Public Works and Transportation; and The Westchester Public/Private Partnership for Aging Services.
