In the past twenty years, Sound Generations has celebrated the stories of over 550 older adults in Western Washington at the annual Inspire Positive Aging Awards.
Like the lotus, the wisdom and lived experience of older adults have formed deep roots over time before rising into full bloom, revealing stories shaped by resilience, memory, and meaning. Just as lotus flowers bloom anew, many older adults flourish in new chapters of life.
With live music , great food, a resource fair , and KOMO 4 news anchor, Tyrah Majors as our host it will be a fun-filled and memorable event that inspires all.
