Macomb County celebrates more than 30 centenarians at 2026 Macomb 100 Club event

Macomb County honored more than 30 residents age 100 and older during the 2026 Macomb 100 Club Celebration on May 8 at the Clinton-Macomb Main Public Library, marking what is believed to be the largest gathering of centenarians in the state of Michigan.

Hosted by Macomb County Executive, Mark A. Hackel and the Macomb County Office of Senior Services, the annual celebration recognized residents whose lives and experiences have spanned generations and helped shape communities throughout Macomb County.

"These remarkable residents represent a century of experiences, perseverance and community," Hackel said. "It is always an honor to celebrate them and recognize the contributions they have made to Macomb County throughout their lives."

The event featured a meet and greet with Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel and Office of Senior Services Director Sheila Cote', presentation of recognition certificates for each centenarian, commemorative gifts and light refreshments shared with family and friends.

"This event gives us the opportunity to highlight and celebrate our distinguished residents," said Macomb County Office of Senior Services Director, Sheila Cote'. "It also provides an opportunity for the centenarians to socialize with others who are the same age! It is a unique opportunity for them to connect and reminisce about a period of time they shared. It gives us the privilege to learn from their abundant knowledge and experiences."

The Macomb 100 Club Celebration continues to grow each year as more residents reach the milestone age of 100 and beyond. They will be contacted by the county with a formal invitation that will note the event's location. Questions about the program can be directed to the Macomb County Office of Senior Services at 586-469-5228 or complete the Macomb 100 Club registration.
