10th Annual  Mayor’s  Centenarian Celebration

On Friday May 21, 2010 the City of Philadelphia and Mayor Michael Nutter paid tribute to Philadelphia residents aged 100 years or older.  The 10th Annual Mayor’s Centenarian Celebration brought 101 Centenarians together with friends and family to enjoy lunch, music, singing and dancing.

SSA Philadelphia Regional Commissioner, Laurie Watkins, greeted the guests and spoke to the Centenarians about the most popular baby names when they were born a century before.  Mayor Nutter and Commissioner Watkins joined family and friends in singing Happy Birthday to the Centenarians in front of a magnificent birthday cake which  was  enjoyed  by all.  The video, “Living a Legacy”, was presented and highlighted milestone events in the lives of several of the Centenarians attending.
