Senior Services is proud to continue to plan and host the annual 7 over Seventy Awards as we celebrate older adults who have made a significant impact on Forsyth County! Every year, the community is invited to submit nominations for consideration, which will go through a thorough review process by our selection committee made up of past honorees, community leaders, and local volunteers.
Past honorees represent a wonderfully diverse swath of people who share one thing in common—a love for their community.
