The resolution #84-40 reads as follows: OLDER AMERICANS MONTH PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, the month of May has been set aside each year as a special tribute to the millions of Americans over the age of sixty-five, in recognition of their contributions to our community and our country; and, WHEREAS, older Americans have a vast source of talent, skills and experience which they are ready to share with their neighbors or wherever needed; and, WHEREAS, older Americans proudly represent an invalubale link to the past, remembering what is good and understanding what is difficult; and WHEREAS, because the abilities of older Americans are important to the well-being of our Nation, it is important that they remain as self-reliant as possible while retaining their self-respect and dignity; and WHEREAS, older Americans can be provided opportunities in volunteering, employment and services in an all-inclusive, supportive approach beneficial to all: NOT, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anoka County Board of Commissioners does hereby designate the month of May, 1984, as Older Americans Month in Anoka County. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Anoka County Board of Commissioners calls upon all public officials, community agencies, educators, the clergy, the communications media and each American to recognize the vast potential of older Americans and their benefit to society. SENIOR BOWLING We continue to see new people on the lanes and the staff at Maple Lanes continues to be our gracious hosts, while providing coffee and cookies. On Mondays, we have moonlight bowling for cash prizes. Last month, Don Ward won the $5 certificate from Fridley' s Town Crier and Emil Gustafson received the $5 certificate from Bob's Produce Ranch. These certificates are awarded on the last Monday of each month. Bowling is open to all seniors in the area. It is not league play, just for fun and socialability. For additional information, call Maple Lanes at 571-3520. This is the second senior citizen celebration. The celebration will be time for food, fun, song, and dance. We hope the seniors of Fridley will be able to attend the celebration of older American month. �niar� t i Zen � 1 ALL SENIOR CITIZENS OF ANOKA COUNTY hat b A CHANCE TO DANCE, ENJOY G D LUNCHEON A LAR E CATERED , PLAY CARDS , PLAY BINGO AND SEE MOVIES .
