One of the BEST events Dowda Senior Consultants gets to be part of sponsoring every year is the Hanover County Department of Community Resources and Hanover County Government Centenarian Celebration — and this year I was completely overwhelmed with emotion. Hearing their secrets to longevity, how they met their spouses, what invention mattered most to them, the families they've built — I almost had to get up and leave the room. 🥹
To sit in a room full of people who have seen and lived through EVERYTHING — and to witness their joy and zest for life — it is a gift like none other. I wish every single person in Hanover (and all of RVA!) could experience it.
We are hoping to move to a larger venue next year so that more people can attend — because everyone deserves to sit in that room at least once.
A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to Debbie Preston for ALL she does to make this happen every year. 💛. It is the VERY BEST GIFT.
