September Highlights
September 11, 2012
National Day of Service and Remembrance
The September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance originally launched in 2002 by the 9/11 nonprofit MyGoodDeed with wide support by the 9/11 community and leading national service organizations. In 2009, Congress designated September 11th as a National Day of Service and Remembrance under bipartisan federal law, and charged the Corporation for National and Community Service with helping to support this effort across the country. For the anniversary, CNCS is working with MyGoodDeed and numerous other organizations to implement one of the largest days of charitable service in U.S. history.
September is Healthy Aging® Month
Healthy Aging® Month was created to focus national attention on the positive aspects of growing older. The main objective is to encourage events that promote taking personal responsibility for one's health. Browse the Healthy Aging website and become inspired! From the Healthy Aging Magazine to brochures and other resources, this website is there to inspire us to be healthy be it physically, socially, mentally and financially.
September 2012 - Contest ends 9-15-12!
Caregiver Cruise Contest 2012
from Home Instead Senior Care
