Calling all Centenarians

Monmouth County to honor residents who are 100 plus years of age

HAZLET, NJ – “It’s never too early to plan your birthday celebration,” said Freeholder John Curley. “So, if you will be 100 years of age – or more – you should make plans to be part of Monmouth County’s Centenarian Celebration at noon on Monday, May 11.”

Curley recently announced plans for the third annual birthday party for centenarians that the County’s Office on Aging hosts together with at Regency Park Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 3325 Highway 35 in Hazlet. Party plans include a luncheon, music, gifts and, of course, a birthday cake. 

“Regency is proud to co-host this event with the Monmouth County Office on Aging.  It is a wonderful opportunity for the Centenarians and their families to gather and share their stories, which are truly amazing,” Marie Barnes, Regency Park’s director of corporate marketing and public relations said. “We are also proud to announce we are world record holders, and listed in the publication of the 2015 Anniversary Edition of the Guinness Book of World Records for the Largest Gathering of Centenarians.”

“We want to invite all Monmouth County centenarians who will be 100 years old or older this year to join this celebration,” Curley said. 

If you know a centenarian who would like to attend this great celebration of life, please send their name, address, phone number, and a copy of their birth certificate to the Monmouth County Office on Aging at 3000 Kozloski Road, Freehold, NJ 07728.  For more information, please call 732-431-7450.
