ABOUT
In 2010 Council on Aging identified the need to
enhance the quality of life for Sonoma County's aging community while
engaging the younger more active seniors. The opportunity to host the
Sonoma County Wine Country Senior Games
addresses this need.
Our Mission at Council on Aging is "To enhance the
quality of life for Sonoma County's aging community by providing
services that promote well-being and maintain independence".
The inaugural games held June 2-5, 2011 included six
events with over 500 participants and 100 volunteers. Expect
bigger and better Games with at least ten events in 2012!
Council on Aging is proud to take the lead in
bringing this amazing opportunity to Sonoma County. We look forward to
building many wonderful partnerships in the process as the event grows
and prospers.
The Sonoma Wine
Country Senior Games will strive to become
a world-class, Olympic-format, international sporting event for athletes
50 years and better.
The "Games" provide participants a total experience,
not just another sporting competition. Attendees enjoy Sonoma-focused
festivals, celebrations, social events, health screenings, food and wine
experiences, and help to foster relationships that will last a lifetime.
The Sonoma Wine
Country Senior Games will truly be a
celebration of life after 50 and redefine "A Senior Moment!"
