As the significant segment of older Americans in our society continues to grow, so will the need for programs which aid these citizens and enable them to lead full, productive lives. It is the responsibility of all Americans to ensure that seniors are able to enjoy not only longer life, but an enhanced quality of life.

Exchange Clubs, as part of their overall commitment to community service, should welcome the opportunity to reach out to older Americans, helping them remain in the mainstream of society and assisting them in meeting their special needs in whatever ways possible.

The following project suggestions will enable Exchange Clubs to make a lasting and important difference in the lives of their community’s seniors. In addition to the activities listed, there is a wide variety of other projects that could be conducted. Clubs are encouraged to survey the needs of their community and then select those activities that will have the greatest impact on the areas of greatest need.
