LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring Gus Nusskern upon the occasion of his
designation as the recipient of the 2012 Outstanding Contributor Award
by Warren-Hamilton Counties 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 Gus
Nusskern upon the occasion of his designation as the recipient of the
2012 Outstanding Contributor Award by Warren-Hamilton Counties Office
for the Aging at its annual senior luncheon to be held on Thursday, May
17, 2012, at Ft. William Henry, Lake George, New York; and
WHEREAS, Gus Nusskern is truly deserving of the honor of Warren Coun-
ty's 2012 Outstanding Contributor; he shares not only his time, but a
genuine love and caring for his community, both young and old; and
WHEREAS, Gus Nusskern has been the Chair of the Queensbury Senior
Citizens, Inc., volunteers for the Grandparents Breakfast for Queensbury
School for 23 years, and is a driving force behind the event; he is also
actively involved in organizing the details of the breakfast well before
the breakfast itself, including recruiting, training and managing of all
of the volunteers; and
WHEREAS, During this event, breakfast is served to QES children and
their grandparents for five days and the team serves up to 3,000 break-
fasts; this program would not be in existence, if it were not for Gus's
insight; he has faithfully donated his time, energy and enthusiasm for
23 years and has truly exemplified what it means to be a dedicated
volunteer; and
WHEREAS, A true asset to society, Gus Nusskern, a very active and
industrious man, has inspired and enriched the lives of many through his
love and respect for others, generously sharing the wisdom gained over
years of experiencing life to its fullest; 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 Gus Nusskern upon the occasion of his designation as the recipient
of the 2012 Outstanding Contributor Award by Warren-Hamilton Counties
Office for the Aging; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Gus Nusskern.
