The Association of Generational Seniors’ are accepting nominations for its Sixth Annual Savvy Senior Day to be held this September at the Parker Jewish Institute at 271-11 76th Ave in New Hyde Park.
Event organizers are calling on residents to nominate any senior citizen for their life achievements by submitting a 200-word essay demonstrating why they should be acknowledged for their contributions to the community. The winning male and female nominees will be crowned Savvy Senior King and Savvy Senior Queen, respectively.
The deadline for all nominations is Aug. 31 and the event will be held on Sunday Sept. 20 at 11 am. All nominees and their families will be invited to attend the ceremony.
“There are so many unsung heroes who make up our senior community living right here on Long Island,” AGES Chairman, Kevin Lawrence, said. “Each year, we receive such wonderful Savvy Senior nominations from families all over Long Island who in turn allow us the privilege in casting a well-deserved spotlight on their special seniors. We encourage everyone out there to get out and vote for their special senior.”
Each nominee will be honored at the event in which food and music will be provided.
The King and Queen will each receive gift certificates for professional oil painted portraits from Bradford Renaissance Portraits.
Nominations can be sent via email at savvy2015@agesresourcenetwork.com or by mail to AGES Savvy Senior Award, AGES P.O. Box 774, Melville, NY 11747.
