MAYOR WALSH AND THE ELDERLY COMMISSION CELEBRATE BOSTON SENIORITY MAGAZINE'S 40TH YEAR

BOSTON- Thursday, February 15, 2018 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Commission on Affairs of the Elderly today celebrated the 40th anniversary ofBoston Seniority magazine, a free City publication dedicated to informing and engaging older adults in Boston.

"For four decades, Boston Seniority magazine has helped us tell the stories that make our city so special," said Mayor Walsh. "It has connected and celebrated the people who know this city better than anyone: Boston's seniors."

Started in November 1977, Boston Seniority magazine has a circulation of 15,000 copies, 10 times a year. It is distributed to more than 300 sites across the city, including Boston Public Library branches, elder housing complexes, and grocery stores. The magazine features content that includes important resources and ways to access benefits, lifestyle and health tips, and feature stories about older adults.

"I look forward to this magazine each month," said Roxbury resident Mary A. Pennellatori, 80 years old. Residents of Chestnut Park in Cleveland Circle, pictured above, said, "We love reading the magazine! It's educational, gives us ideas for outings and ways to stay active members in the community."

Hundreds of vintage copies of the magazine are safely stored and preserved in the City Archives.

City Archivist John McColgan said, "Boston Seniority is an important part of the City Archives' holdings and documents the work of the Elderly Commission serving Boston's seniors. We're excited to share these magazines as a part of this important milestone."  

"This magazine has chronicled our city and Commission's history, but even more importantly, it has captured our readers' milestones, too," said Commissioner Emily Shea. "It is a monthly celebration of our readers' voices and experiences, and we are honored to be a part of their lives."
