The Advisory Council of the Northampton County Area Agency on Aging will sponsor its seventh annual ceremony to recognize centenarians in the county. National Centenarian Day is celebrated Sept. 22.
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 100th birthday and beyond.
Proclamations will be 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; however, that is not possible due to continuing concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anyone who would like to nominate a centenarian for recognition should contact Melissa Titus at 610-829-4509.
