PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, In 1963, the tradition began of setting aside the month
of May as Older Americans Month, a special time to honor the
Country's older Americans; and,
WHEREAS, Seniors are the fastest growing segment of our
population. They are also among our most prized resources,
contributing their knowledge, skills and experience to their
communities; and,
WHEREAS, Throughout the month of May, localities nationwide are
celebrating Older Americans Month with a range of activities to
recognize their senior citizens; and,
WHEREAS, This year's national theme for Older American's Month is
"The Many Faces of Aging," which recognizes aging as a global
issue exhibiting the nation's rapidly increasing multi-cultural
and multi-generational aging population; and,
WHEREAS, It is important for local governments to support caregivers
because of the important functions they carry out in the
daily lives of our families and the significant role they play in
ensuring our community's older adults can age with respect,
independence and dignity.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, I, Robert L. Fish, Chairman of the
Saginaw County Board of Commissioners, do hereby proclaim the
month of May, 2001 as: OLDER AMERICANS MONTH in the County of
Saginaw and in doing so urge all citizens to honor elders
throughout the year and to promote activities and services that
contribute to the health, welfare and independence of our older
residents.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the County of Saginaw to be affixed this 22nd day of May
in the year of our Lord, two thousand and one.
Sincerely,
SAGINAW COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Robert L. Fish, Chair
