This resolution recognizes September 13, 2025, as Lou Walker Senior Center Day in honor of the center's 20-year history serving senior citizens in DeKalb County, Georgia. Located in Stonecrest, the center was founded in memory of Lou Walker, a respected actor, commissioner, and community activist who dedicated his life to public service and advocating for seniors, families, and underrepresented groups. The resolution highlights the center's comprehensive role as a community hub offering diverse programs including a therapeutic pool, computer lab, fitness classes, arts and crafts, and essential services that promote active living, lifelong learning, and social connection for seniors. By partnering with local, state, and federal agencies, the Lou Walker Senior Center has created a welcoming space that fosters belonging, inclusion, and respect while enhancing the quality of life for its members. The resolution not only commemorates the center's 20th anniversary but also directs the House of Representatives' Clerk to distribute an official copy of the resolution to the center, formally recognizing its significant contributions to the DeKalb County community.
