ST JOSEPH, Mich. -- 'Flip the Script on Aging' at Region IV Area Agency on Aging's Annual Celebration is on Oct. 16 at The Inn at Harbor Shores. 

“This year’s theme, ‘Flip the Script on Aging,’ invites us to see aging in a bold, new light, embracing the idea that while getting older may bring challenges, it also unlocks fresh possibilities and growth,” AAA CEO Christine Vanlandingham said.

“Together, as a community, we can turn perceptions upside down, challenge outdated stereotypes, and highlight the vibrancy, wisdom, and opportunities that come with every year.”

Tickets are $50 per person or $350 for a table of eight. The event features food, a presentation, and community and staff awards. 

The deadline to purchase tickets is Oct. 3. All proceeds support the needs of older adults, people with disabilities and caregivers in Berrien, Cass and Van Buren counties.

“Join us as we unite community leaders, advocates, staff, families, and service providers in recognizing that aging isn’t something to hide from, it’s something to look forward to,” Vanlandingham said.

“With the right support, older adults and caregivers can thrive, and everyone can see that aging is so cool, everyone’s doing it!”
