Overview of the Records

Arrangement

Unarranged.

Scope and Content Note

These reports focus on award announcements given to exemplary senior volunteers who provided service to local agencies, advocacy groups, and other organizations such as schools, hospitals, and transportation programs. An award is given annually to a volunteer from each county. Each entry includes a picture, a brief biography, a list of agencies served, and a statement by the volunteer on their thoughts and motivations. The awardees were nominated or submitted by Area Agency on Aging (AAA) directors.

The reports also document department sponsored activities related to New York State Senior Day (later, Older New Yorkers Day) and include messages from the governor, department director, senators, and assembly members recognizing and thanking the volunteers for their service.
