October 1, International Day for Older Persons
http://www.un.org/Depts/dhl/olderpersons/
The United Nations has designated October 1 International Day for Older Persons to raise awareness about issues affecting the elderly and a day to appreciate the contributions that older people make to society. This holiday is similar to National Grandparents Day in the United States and Canada as well as Respect for the Aged Day in Japan. The observance is a focus of ageing organizations and the United Nations Programme on Ageing.
