On August 19, 1988, President Ronald Reagan issued Proclamation 5847 proclaiming August 21 to be National Senior Citizen Day. The President said: "For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older." And isn't Sun City a great place to grow old!
