Statewide Iowa — If you or someone you know is 100 or older the Iowa Department on Aging wants to hear from you.
The Department has long held an annual recognition of centenarians, and spokesperson Marissa Vance says they’re now adding online profiles to the mix.
Vance says they are continuing the certificates signed by the governor recognizing their status.
Vance says the change in technology these elder citizens have seen in the last century is one of the biggest things she’s noticed in compiling their information.
Vance says if you are a centenarian or will be turning 100 by December 31st go to the Iowa Department on Aging website to register.
Vance says they consistently have 100 or more certificates for the governor to sign every year to honor these Iowa elders.
Vance says it is important to celebrate these Iowans for their strength, endurance, and collective wisdom. Vance says they’d like to hear from you as soon as possible to get all the information processed.
