This date is recognized as National Senior Citizens Day, and its observance was established in 1988 with presidential Proclamation 5847. The senior center at 7560 Raeford Road is the perfect venue to hold such an event, as it’s named after the late Fayetteville council member Bill Crisp, who served District 6. “I thought it would be a good tribute to try to remember him in doing this event here at his center,” Thompson continued. “They’re the golden people of this city,” said Belinda Jackson, recreation center supervisor for the Bill Crisp Senior Center.
