Monticello, NY – The NYS Office for the Aging will celebrate Older New Yorkers’ Day on Friday, November 4, 2022, and Sullivan County has an opportunity to include up to two local honorees!

All honorees will receive a package that includes:

•           A commemorative pin

Additionally, they will be featured on social media and rightfully celebrated in local media.
