Better with age

The Cayuga County Legislature scheduled a luncheon with five men and women who will be honored as Senior Citizens of the year. The luncheon was followed by a meeting of the legislature with the first order of business being the presentation of the awards by members of the legislature and a special proclamation for all senior citizens by Roger Mills, chairman of the Legislature, Tuesday at Emerson Park.

This proclamation recognizes the contributions of Cayuga County seniors as “valuable members of our society who are rich in experience and deserving of our respect. ... Our older citizens promise to be among the most active and engaged older adult populations in our nation's history.”

In order to be eligible for the award, nominees must be residents of Cayuga County over the age of 60 who contributed on a volunteer basis to the community in some way. Names were submitted to the Cayuga County Office of the Aging, who made the final selections.
