 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to commend the
older New Yorkers of this Empire State who continue to be active and
vital participants in the life of their communities; and

 WHEREAS, Older New Yorkers bring their deep wisdom, experience,
enthusiasm and energy to countless endeavors, helping to shape and
strengthen the character of our communities and the quality of our
lives; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Older New Yorkers Month
in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of National
Older Americans Month; and

 WHEREAS, The more than four million residents of New York State 60
years of age and older represent the wide diversity of ethnicities and
cultures that make up this State; and perpetuate those distinctive
customs, traditions and ideals that enhance the rich tapestry of
community life and activity; and

 WHEREAS, The wisdom and experience of older New Yorkers constantly
enrich the lives of the young people of our State through a strong
tradition of volunteerism and the example they set as pioneering
advocates for dignity and respect for all, including our LGBT
communities; and

 WHEREAS, Since 1963, the month of May has been declared by
presidential proclamation to be Older Americans Month so that
communities around the nation might pause to celebrate and reflect on
the unique role older Americans play in our communities and our nation;
and

 WHEREAS, The legislative and executive branches of New York State
government have as a primary goal the improvement of the quality of life
of older New Yorkers and the assurance of their continued dignity; and

 WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to recognize and
celebrate the legacy of older New Yorkers who, in spite of the
relentless and tumultuous pace of change throughout their lifetime,
continue to adapt and thrive and contribute; and who now more than ever
represent a vast and willing source of knowledge and insight available
to our great State of New York; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Older New
Yorkers Month in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause further to urge the
residents of this great Empire State to honor all of our older New

Yorkers, who are the cornerstone of our Nation's strength and to whom a
debt of gratitude is owed; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
