Suffolk County Calls for Nominations for Senior Citizen of the Year

County Executive Bellone and the Suffolk County Senior Citizen Advisory Board are pleased to announce that the Suffolk County Office for the Aging is now accepting nominations for the Senior Citizen of the Year Award.  This award recognizes a senior citizen who has significantly contributed to other seniors in a meaningful and important way, either as an advocate, role model, leader, or volunteer.  This impact can be felt either countywide, or in one of the local communities.

“I encourage all residents to take the opportunity to nominate a person for Senior of the Year,” said County Executive Steve Bellone.  “Let us take the opportunity to highlight the contributions and commitment of those who are deserving of this honor.”
