Senate Resolution No. 1808

BY: Senator LITTLE

        HONORING  Joan  Aubin  upon  the  occasion  of her
        designation for special recognition by the New  York
        State Office for the Aging on May 21, 2019

  WHEREAS,  Senior citizens bring a wealth of experience and knowledge
to the increasingly active roles they play  in  today's  society;  their
past  contributions  and  future  participation are a vital part of, and
valuable asset to, the fabric of community life and activity; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor  Joan  Aubin
upon  the occasion of her designation for special recognition by the New
York State Office for the Aging at its Annual  Older  New  Yorkers'  Day
Celebration  on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, at the Hart Theatre Lounge in The
Egg, Albany, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Each May, the New York State Office for the Aging pauses to
acknowledge the outstanding contributions made by older citizens  during
National Older Americans Month; and

  WHEREAS,  Members  of  older generations have helped build and shape
our Nation to be the greatest in  the  world;  they  have  defended  our
freedoms  and  values  to ensure that those who come after them may have
better lives; nowhere in the Nation is the legacy of their efforts  more
visible  and  more  a part of the lives of all citizens than here in the
State of New York; and

  WHEREAS, Joan Aubin has volunteered for the past  eight  years  with
the  Retired  Senior  Volunteer Program (RSVP) where she helps transport
fellow neighbors and friends to and from doctor appointments, does their
grocery shopping, and  stops  by  for  a  friendly  visit  almost  daily
throughout the week; and

  WHEREAS,  In  addition,  she  gives  of her time and energies to the
Willsboro Congregational Church, serving as its  Treasurer,  setting  up
for events and dinners, and calling the Bingo numbers; and

  WHEREAS, A resident of Essex County for most of her life, Joan Aubin
graduated  from  Willsboro Central School before moving to Elizabethtown
where she worked for Grand  Union  for  28  years;  she  moved  back  to
Willsboro in 2010 and currently resides in Lakewood senior housing; and

  WHEREAS,  Rare  indeed  is  the  impressive  dedication  shown by an
individual for the benefit of others  which  Joan  Aubin  has  displayed
throughout her life; and

  WHEREAS,  With  her  throughout  have  been  her two daughters, five
grandchildren, many step grandchildren and two great-grandchildren,  who
have   all   shown  her  love  and  support  and  rejoice  in  her  many
achievements; and

  WHEREAS, Joan Aubin,  a  very  active  and  industrious  woman,  has
inspired  and  enriched  the  lives  of  those  she  serves  through her

volunteerism,  generously  sharing  the  wisdom  gained  over  years  of
experiencing life to its fullest; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Joan Aubin upon  the  occasion  of  her  designation  for  special
recognition  by the New York State Office for the Aging on May 21, 2019;
and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Joan Aubin.
