I am thrilled that the annual Salute to Seniors event is returning in 2022, and I look forward to seeing you there.”

We are looking forward to the fun-filled activities that bring our communities together, because quality of life is better when we connect with those around us.”

 

Westchester County Parks Commissioner Kathy O’Connor said: “We are excited to carry on the tradition of hosting Salute to Seniors during Older American’s Month. Following in the footsteps of last year’s success, we bring this event to four of our scenic parks, giving Westchester’s elder residents the opportunity to enjoy nature while providing them with easy access to programs and services that will help them stay healthy and remain independent.”

Greechan: Jr., P.E said: “We are proud to partner once again on the Salute to Seniors events and offer free rides to seniors on the Bee-Line fixed-route bus system every Wednesday in May.  Transportation is an important issue as we age and our system provides seniors with the freedom they deserve.”
