community service devising and leading the Halifax senior meal program.
(H.C.R.27)
Offered by Representative Carris-Duncan of Whitingham
Whereas, serving hot and nutritious meals to senior citizens benefits them both
physically and emotionally by giving them high-quality nourishment and companionship,
even for a brief period of time, and
Whereas, a quarter of a century ago, in the Town of Halifax, Joan Coursier, an
outstanding cook and deeply caring human being, identified the need for a senior meal
program in the community, and
Whereas, Joan Coursier established a senior meal service that provided the recipients
with both food and a sense of belonging to the community, and
Whereas, she has performed multiple roles in this endeavor, including provisioning,
preparing, and serving food, and Joan Coursier’s superb cooking enhanced the program’s
quality and reputation, and
Whereas, her devotion to this project has continued unabated, greatly benefiting the
appreciative Halifax community, and
Whereas, on March 21, 2025, Joan Coursier is concluding her service in this unique
and personally created position, and she will be celebrated at a festive thank-you
gathering, now therefore be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
That the General Assembly honors Joan W. Coursier for her exemplary community
service devising and leading the Halifax senior meal program, and be it further
Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
Joan Coursier.
