Folks across the state are recognizing Davie Senior Services and the Davie Senior Games, as well as the games local coordinator, Carrie Miller.
On Jan. 7, Karen Umberger and Carol Huffman attend the N.C. Senior Games Ambassador Conference. They learned about the inner workings and possibilities that come with becoming an official NC State Senior Games ambassador. There was information, fun, and excitement that entailed, and they had a productive meeting with Miller.
The following day kicked off the Local Coordinator’s Association Conference in Greensboro at the Embassy Suites Hotel.
Davie County Senior Games Ambassador, Renae Tkach, represented Davie County by sitting on the panel and presenting to the additional 53 local senior games programs.
Miller, presented on How to Make a Low Tech Video in a High Tech World. During this presentation, each person was able to view and see the video created that was shown at the 2024 Davie County Senior Games & SilverArts Closing Ceremony.
At the awards ceremony in the evening, Davie County Senior Games & SilverArts was awarded two awards.
The “Certificate of Excellence” for soaring to new heights and growing the local senior games program over the past five years, and the “Summit Star Award” for achieving the feat of having the highest participation ever for local Senior Games.
Miller received the Stormbringer Award, for surviving a crazy week of bocce during the 2024 season where the first day was stopped because of rain, the second day was playing in the rain, the third day was canceled because of rain, the fourth day was so windy that everyone was wind burnt, and the final day was so hot that everyone was sunburnt and the final game was decided by flipping a coin.
Miller also received the “Speed of Light” award for being the first local coordinator in the state to turn in the sanctioning packet, which is the information the N.C. Senior Games needs to allow Davie County Senior Games & SilverArts to be its own, individual local games and part of the greater picture.
The upcoming Davie County Senior Games and SilverArts registration will open on Thursday, Jan. 30 and run until Friday, Feb. 21. Registration forms will be available at the Senior Expo on Jan. 30.
