Proclamation
May is Older Americans Month, a time for us to recognize and honor the City of Manhattan Beach’s older adults and their immense influence on every facet of American society; and
through their wealth of life experience and wisdom, older adults guide our younger generations and carry forward abundant cultural and historical knowledge; and older Americans improve our communities through intergenerational relationships, community service, civic engagement, and many other activities; and communities benefit when people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds have the opportunity to participate and live independently; and
the City of Manhattan Beach must ensure that older Americans have the resources and support needed to stay involved in their communities – reflecting out commitment to inclusivity and connectedness.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that I, Joe Franklin, Mayor of the City of Manhattan Beach, California , on behalf of the City Council and the residents of Manhattan Beach, do hereby proclaim the month of May, 2024 as
Older Americans Month
and urge every citizen to take time during this month to recognize older adults and the people who serve them as essential and valuable members of our community.
