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

compassion and commitment to serving others; from delivering meals to
supporting medical transportation services, his impact on his community
is truly invaluable; and

sales and management prepared him for a life of service in retirement;
his passion for helping others shines through his volunteer work, making
a meaningful difference in the lives of many; and

WHEREAS, In his spare time, Chuck Miller has restored an old hay
wagon on his property to give hayrides to friends, family, neighbors,
and even older adults from the senior center during the fall; he
continues to positively impact his community through his kindness and
generosity; and

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

inspired and enriched the lives of those he serves through his
volunteerism, generously sharing the wisdom gained over years of
experiencing life to its fullest; now, therefore, be it
