In 1999, the City, in collaboration with community partners and citizens, created a time capsule and a friendship quilt to celebrate the International Year of Older Persons. This year, 2024, marks the 25th anniversary of that significant event, making it the perfect occasion to open the 25-year time capsule and reflect on the meaning of the friendship quilt crafted during the 1999 celebrations. We are set to commemorate this milestone on October 1, 2024, coinciding with the International Day of Older Persons.
As we prepare for this special event, we aim to reconnect with individuals who played a crucial role in 1999, particularly in creating the time capsule and the friendship quilt. We want to ensure that those who contributed their time and creativity 25 years ago have the chance to participate in the October 1 celebration.
If you were involved in any capacity with the time capsule or friendship quilt in 1999, we want to hear from you! Your stories, memories, and reflections are invaluable as we revisit and celebrate the legacy of that extraordinary year.
Your participation will enrich our celebration and help keep the spirit of community and connection alive for future generations. Join us in this journey of remembrance, gratitude, and celebration by emailing us at [email protected].
