Rogers, Executive Director (989) , extension 12 Carol LaClair, In-Home Coordinator (989) , extension 10 Maureen Kent, Registered Nurse (989) , extension 15 Like Mother s Day, Father s Day has a history that goes well beyond greeting cards. The first known Father s Day service occurred at the Wiliams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South in Fairmont, West Virginia, on July 5, 1908, thanks to the efforts of Grace Golden Clayton. Mrs. Clayton had asked her pastor, Dr. R. Thomas Webb, if a Sunday service could be held to honor fathers. In spite of widespread support, Father s Day did not become a permanent national holiday for many years. Finally, in 1972, when President Richard Nixon was president, Father s Day was signed into a law declaring that it be celebrated annually on the third Sunday in June. It has been an official, permanent national holiday ever since. There are already 55,000 Americans over age 100, and by 2050 the number of centenarians will reach 600,000 roughly the population of the entire state of Vermont! INSIDE THIS ISSUE Page 2.
