Executive Director’s Message
June was an
eventful month here at the Office on Aging! We’ve loved spending time with you
as we’ve kicked off the summer celebrating our city’s diversity in the Capital
Pride Parade and our first ever senior Pride party, experimenting with virtual
reality and robotics at our Senior Symposium, crowning a new Ms. Senior DC, and
hanging out with you and our friends at the Department of Parks and Recreation
SeniorFest!
After all,
we’re not just government employees, we’re your neighbors, your friends, and
part of your community. That’s what makes DC a city I’m proud to call home.
