A resolution to recognize June 11, 2008, as Older Michiganian's Day, honoring our state's population of older citizens.
Whereas, The 1.5 million Michiganians age 60 and over deserve our utmost respect and gratitude for their many contributions to our communities and our state. Older citizens play a vital role in cities and towns all across our great state; and
Whereas, Older Michiganians are active supporters of Michigan's economy, workforce, charities, religious institutions, local communities, and institutions of government. This group is one of our state's greatest resources of understanding our past and improving our future. They are truly a foundation upon which we can build a better tomorrow; and
Whereas, This invaluable group of citizens is being honored and admired for their many years of service to the state of Michigan. They have been an indispensable source of knowledge and inspiration throughout the years; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body declare June 11, 2008, as the first Older Michiganian's Day. It is our hope that on this day all Michiganians will honor the older citizens in their lives and recognize the many contributions they have made to Michigan communities.
