Brief History

Council launched the first "Spotlight on Seniors" in November 1999 as part of the International Year of Older Persons.  This full day event consisted of celebrating the contributions of seniors in our community.  Information booths were set up for seniors to view the many services and products available to them.  Entertainers and educational speakers were scheduled throughout the day.  Many volunteers helped organize Spotlight on Seniors making it successful.  The committee has since then continued to organize this event for several years in a row.  In 2003, the Centennial Auditorium (now TCU Place) became a major partner in planning this event.
