Senior Citizens Day Celebration with the Double Barrs

National Senior Citizens Day honors our elderly population. On this day, we are encouraged to recognize and show appreciation for the value and contribution of senior citizens to home, family, and society.

Ronald Reagan said it best in his Presidential Proclamation of August 19, 1988:

For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older.

We like to think we honor the spirit of President Reagan's words every day at Merrill Gardens, but a Happy Hour performance by the Double Barrs is a great way to celebrate this special day!
