Summary Explanation and Background:
Every May the Brevard Commission on Aging seeks to recognize May as Older Americans Month and observe this year’s theme which is “Aging without Limits”. The committee members recognize that older adults play a key role in the vitality of every community, and during the April 9, 2026 Commission on Aging meeting, a motion was brought forth and unanimously approved, to recognize May 2026 as Older Americans Month, and highlight United Way Interim Director, M.E. Kelly, as well as former Brevard County Commissioner and current West Melbourne City Council member Helen Voltz, for their examples of the efforts of older adults in our community.
M.E. Kelly and Helen Voltz will accept the resolutions.
