  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, 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,  Kathy  Miller  is  a  proud native of Oxford, New York, in
Chenango County; she brings a wealth of experience and dedication to her
volunteer work with the Chenango County Area Agency on Aging (AAA); and

Bachelor's degree in Psychology from SUNY Oneonta, Kathy Miller embarked
on  a  fulfilling  career  as a social worker, serving in long-term care
facilities across several counties in New York.; and

  WHEREAS, Kathy Miller's passion for serving  older  adults  led  her
back  to  Chenango  County,  where  she  served  as  a  case manager and
counselor  for  the  Health  Insurance   Information,   Counseling   and
Assistance   Program   (HIICAP),   which  provides  free  and  objective
counseling to older  adults  on  Medicare  and  other  health  insurance
questions; and

  WHEREAS,  Now  retired, Kathy Miller continues her commitment to the
community by volunteering during the agency's busy HIICAP season; and

  WHEREAS, Known for her extensive knowledge and genuine care for  her
clients,   Kathy  Miller  takes  the  extra  time  to  build  meaningful
relationships and ensure comprehensive support for everyone; and

  WHEREAS, Beyond her volunteer work,  Kathy  Miller  enjoys  spending
time  with  her family, including her sons and grandchildren, as well as
indulging in her love for travel; and

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

  WHEREAS,  Kathy  Miller,  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
