The Cedar Hill City Council held a regular meeting on August 12, 2025, where significant discussions centered around the recognition of senior citizens in the community. The meeting commenced with a proclamation from Mayor Stephen Mason, designating August 20, 2025, as National Senior Citizens Day and September 2025 as Senior Center Month in Cedar Hill. This proclamation highlights the contributions of active seniors to families, communities, and the nation.

Mayor Mason emphasized the importance of the Cedar Hill Senior Activity Center, which serves as a hub for services and activities for older adults throughout Dallas County. He noted that the center empowers seniors to enhance their health and well-being while contributing to the community.

During the meeting, representatives from the Senior Activity Center expressed gratitude for the proclamations and acknowledged the city leaders for their commitment to fulfilling the dreams and needs of the senior community.
