Wishing all of you a fun-filled December and a healthy and safe New Year 2023. Thank you to all who have helped make Maine more age-inclusive. Special thanks to all of the age-friendly volunteer leaders who have given countless hours to making your communities better places to live. In 2023, among many other things, you have launched new intergenerational programs, advocated for safer streets and accessible pathways, and increased digital equity so that older residents can stay socially connected and meet everyday needs. We are looking forward to working with you to make Maine even more age-friendly in 2024.
