May—Older Americans Month
Book Signing Our own Marilyn Pergerson will
be doing a book signing at RCARE
on Monday, May 21 from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. . Marilyn has
written a book titled “Confessions and Lessons Of a
Late in Life Marriage” and will be
signing copies if anyone would like to purchase one. The book is
about the difficulties and free-doms of senior marriage.
According to Marilyn, marriage
as a senior can be quite different
than marriage as a youth. How
does one resolve having two homes, two sets of finances,
health issues, meeting mates this age, etc. ? Marilyn shares
her own hilarious and serious
experiences. She should know...
The cost of the book is $15.00

MAY, 2018 VOLUME 5, ISSUE 18
Every May, the Administration on Aging, part of the Administration for Com-
munity Living, leads our nation's observance of Older American's Month. The
2018 theme, Engage at Every Age, emphasizes that you are never too old (or
young) to take part in activities that can enrich your physical, mental, and
emotional well-being. It also celebrates the many ways in which older adults
make a difference in our communities.
Participating in activities that promote mental and physical wellness, offering
your wisdom and experience to the next generation, seeking the mentorship
of someone with more life experience than you—those are just a few exam-
ples of what being engaged can mean. No matter where you are in your life,
there is no better time than now to start. We hope you will join in and Engage
at Every Age!

Arrested Development
An elderly couple was driving across the country. While the women was
behind the wheel, the couple was pulled over by the highway patrol.
“Ma’am, did you know your were speeding?” the officer said. The wom-
an, hard of hearing, turned to her husband and asked, “What did he
say?”
“He said you were speeding!’ the old man yelled.
The patrolman then asked, “May I see your license?”
The woman turned to her husband again, “What did he say?”
The old man yelled back, “He wants to see your license!”
“I see you are from Arkansas,” the patrolman said, “I spent some time
there once and went on a blind date with the ugliest woman I’ve ever
seen.”
The woman turned to her husband again and asked, “What did he say?”
The old man replied, “He said he knows you!”
