Resident urges older adults to visit Cabarrus County active living centers during Older Americans Month

A resident promoting Older Americans Month said the activities are “for anybody that are from 50 to any age group above,” and invited older adults to use the county’s active living centers.

The speaker emphasized health benefits from participation, saying the centers “help prevent falls,” “they also straighten you,” and that they “also give you a community of friendship.” The remarks framed the centers as places that support physical health and social connection for older residents of Cabarrus County.

The resident closed by encouraging attendance: “Come visit our center here or 1 of the other ones in Cabarrus County and see how friendly people are and how open we are to making new friends.” The outreach comments were presented as community promotion rather than a formal policy proposal or vote.

The announcement provided no specific dates, locations, or registration requirements; listeners were advised to contact local centers for details.
