Senior Day at the Capitol to be held March 30

Oklahoma senior citizens, caregivers, and others interested in issues affecting aging Oklahomans are invited to the State Capitol for Senior Day at the Capitol on Monday, March 30, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Oklahoma State Capitol, 2300 N. Lincoln Blvd., Oklahoma City.

Senior Day offers participants the opportunity to share ideas, needs, and concerns with their state lawmakers; learn about current legislation affecting older Oklahomans; and connect with nonprofit organizations and state agencies that provide programs and services for older adults and family caregivers.

Attendees may arrive beginning at 8:30 a.m. and sign in at the second-floor rotunda of the Capitol. Volunteers and signage will be available to assist participants. The formal Senior Day program will begin at 10 a.m. in the House Chamber on the fourth floor with guest speakers. The event will conclude at 1 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public. Individuals and groups planning to attend are encouraged—but not required—to register in advance through the Oklahoma Alliance on Aging website’s Events page. Nonprofit organizations and government programs interested in reserving an exhibit table, as well as potential sponsors, may also use the registration link to apply.

The Oklahoma Alliance on Aging encourages attendees to visit www.oklegislature.gov prior to the event to identify their legislators and locate office information. Appointments with lawmakers are not required, and volunteers will be available on site to assist attendees in locating offices and answering questions.

The Oklahoma Alliance on Aging organizes Senior Day in partnership with the Oklahoma Silver Haired Legislature Alumni Association, AARP Oklahoma, and the Oklahoma Department of Human Services Community Living, Aging and Protective Services Division.

For more information, call 405-943-1895 or email info@okallianceonaging. org.
