AgeSpan is hosting its milestone anniversary luncheon, “50 Years of Inspiring Aging: Celebrating the Power, Value, and Voices of Older Adults” on May 2.
The event features keynote speaker Harvey Leonard, WCVB Channel 5’s Chief Meteorologist Emeritus. We are honoring 50 local people aged 60 and older who inspire us through healthy aging, intergenerational experiences, community service, caregiving, and activism.

These 50 individuals from across the Merrimack Valley and North Shore are profiled in our 50 Over 60 List, which will be released at the event, along with other older adults, who will share their aging stories.
