Recognizing May as
OLDER AMERICANS MONTH
WHEREAS, Over 47 million Americans are 60 years old or older; and
WHEREAS, this is our opportunity to honor our senior residents for their enrichment of our community; and
WHEREAS, 2004's theme is "Aging Well, Living Well," which reflects the magnitude of talents older Americans contribute to our residents. Many are working beyond the traditional retirement age, while others volunteer their services to make this a better place to live; and
WHEREAS, older Americans assist others to understand the past, are teachers of courage, endurance and love; and
WHEREAS, through their dedication, service and responsibility, older Americans also serve as role models for our younger generations.
NOW, THEREFORE, on behalf of the City Council and the people of the City of Lakewood, I, Steve Burkholder, Mayor of the City of Lakewood, Colorado, by virtue of the authority vested in me, do hereby proclaim and recognize May 2004 as
OLDER AMERICANS MONTH
in the City of Lakewood and commend our older American community.
GIVEN uner my hand and Seal of the City of Lakewood this 24th day of May 2004 A.D.
Stephen A. Burkholder, Mayor
