To do that, the agency needs the help of Montanans all across the state. <\/p>\n
DPHHS staff members are asking for names of residents who will turn 100 years old or older by Dec. 31, 2014. <\/p>\n
The centenarians will be honored at noon luncheons on May 6 in Kalispell and May 8 in Bozeman. <\/p>\n
All centenarians who submit information will receive a recognition proclamation from Gov. Steve Bullock, as well as a free lunch during the luncheon event. <\/p>\n
Our Montana Centenarians have such inspiring stories of triumph and perseverance, Bullock said. These men and women helped to do the hard work of building Montana; its an honor to recognize them. <\/p>\n
Montanas 2010 census showed that Montana is home to 175 centenarians and that number continues to grow. <\/p>\n
The Governors Conference on Aging is also designed to raise the publics awareness of the states current elderly population, as well as focus attention on the impact of the baby boom generation which started turning 65 years old in 2011. <\/p>\n
