Welcome everyone.

I'm glad you could make it.

I'll be discussing the elderly today.

Senior citizens are super.

They have so much to offer.

Yet,they're often overlooked and avoided.

That's why I'm here.

I want you to remember an important message.

We should treat them like a national treasure.

They are role models to emulate¹.

They are unsung heroes to admire.

They have weathered many storms.

They have survived many hardships.

Thy have more wisdom and experience than anyone.

Also we must spend time with seniors.
