LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring Dennis Everleth upon the occasion of his
designation as the 2012 Essex County Senior Citizen of the Year by the
New York State Office for the Aging

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, Attendant to such concern and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Dennis Everleth upon the occasion of his designation as the 2012 Essex
County Senior Citizen of the Year by the New York State Office for the
Aging; and
WHEREAS, For the past 15 years, Dennis Everleth has been director of
the Essex-Willsboro Nutrition Site, a joint venture of Adirondack Commu-
nity Action Programs and the Office for the Aging in Elizabethtown; and
WHEREAS, Dennis Everleth runs the Senior Center, takes seniors on
local field trips, and gives them a hearty lunch five days a week; and
WHEREAS, The nutrition program provides food to 15 to 30 seniors on
weekdays, providing them with a nutritional meal and a little socializ-
ing time, too; and
WHEREAS, Field trips are a big part of the program; the seniors visit
the Lake Placid Christmas Company two or three times annually, go to
Plattsburgh for shopping the first Thursday of every month, go to Eliza-
bethtown for shopping ventures, and to the Akwesane Casino a few times a
year; and
WHEREAS, In addition, Dennis Everleth goes out of his way to ensure
local seniors have a ride to the grocery store or to a doctor's appoint-
ment, and whenever they need it most; and
WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to publicly recog-
nize and commend those who have witnessed and contributed to the devel-
opments and achievements of our Nation, State, and communities over the
course of their noteworthy lives; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Dennis Everleth upon the occasion of his designation as the 2012
Essex County Senior Citizen of the Year by the New York State Office for
the Aging; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Dennis Everleth.
