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, 2005's theme is "Celebrate Long-Term Living," which reflects that more choices are available than the long-term institutional care that once was the primary option; 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 2005 as
OLDER AMERICANS MONTH
in the City of Lakewood and commend our older American community.
GIVEN under my hand and Seal of the City of Lakewood this 23rd day of May 2005 A.D.
Stephen A. Burkholder, Mayor
