May is Older Americans Month
Older Americans Month 2011
A Proclamation
Whereas, our Senior Center is a community that
includes citizens aged 60 and older; and
Whereas, the older adults in our Center are the
roots from which our community grows, who
bestow gifts of wisdom and insight upon younger
generations, and strengthen the bonds between
neighbors to create a better place to live; and
Whereas, our society can be enhanced by older
adults aging peacefully in their communities;
and
Whereas, the older adults in our Center should
be commended for their role in creating and
bolstering the fiber of our community and nation;
and
Whereas, our community can provide that
recognition and respect by enriching the quality
of life for older Americans by:
Increasing their opportunities to remain in
their communities as active and engaged
citizens
Providing services, technologies, and support
systems that allow seniors to foster and
maintain connections within the community
Emphasizing the value of elders by publically
recognizing their contributions to the diversity,
strength and unity of our community
Now therefore, Lenox Hill Neighborhood House
Senior Center at Saint Peter’s Church does
MAY 2011
hereby proclaim May 2011 to be Older
Americans Month. We urge every citizen to take
time this month to honor our older adults and
the professionals, family members and
volunteers who care for them. Our recognition of
older Americans and their involvement in our
lives can help us achieve stronger and more
meaningful connections with each other and
enrich our community’s quality of life.
Dated this 1st of May, 2011
