Monticello, NY – The NYS Office for the Aging will celebrate Older New Yorkers’ Day on Friday, November 3, 2023, and Sullivan County has an opportunity to include up to two local honorees!
Though the ceremony itself will be virtual, all honorees will receive a package that includes:
• A commemorative pin
• A hard copy of the book of biographies
• A certificate
Additionally, they will be featured on social media and rightfully celebrated in local media.
The deadline for submitting nominees is September 1. Thus the Sullivan County Office for the Aging is seeking nominations by that time of older adults from our community to be represented at this event. These nominations can come from civic leaders, elected officials, and community organizations.
The nominee should be a volunteer aged 55 or older that has made a difference in the community through civic engagement.
Nomination forms can be obtained by contacting the Office for the Aging at 845-807-0243 or sullivanofa@sullivanny.us. Or download the form at www.sullivanny.us/Departments/Aging (click on “2023 Older New Yorkers Day Nomination Form”).
