The Area Agency on Aging Advisory Council will sponsor its 7th annual ceremony to recognize centenarians in Northampton County. National Centenarian Day is celebrated on September 22nd.

The Advisory Council is seeking Northampton County residents who will have celebrated their 100th or 100-plus birthday by the end of 2021. Centenarians will be recognized and honored with proclamations from the State of Pennsylvania and Northampton County, congratulating them on the significant achievement of reaching their 100 birthday and beyond. Proclamations will be personally delivered to the centenarian’s residence by a member of the advisory council during the week of Sept. 19. Appointments will be arranged in August.

In previous years centenarians were recognized at a luncheon but, due to continuing concerns with the pandemic, that is not currently possible.

Anyone who would like to nominate a centenarian for recognition should contact Melissa Titus at 610-829-4509.
