The Town of Grand Island presented a proclamation designating May 2025 as Older Americans Month and extended the board's thanks to the Grand Island Golden Age Club for its long'running services to residents aged 50 and older.
Supervisor Marston introduced the proclamation and summarized the board's findings, citing the club's founding in 1959 and noting that people age 50 and older make up a substantial share of the town's population based on the 2020 census. The proclamation uses the 2025 Older Americans Month theme "Flip the Script on Aging."
The board said the town is committed to supporting programs that help older adults stay active and connected and invited Golden Age Club representatives to receive the signed proclamation and town seal.
The town did not take a formal vote on funding or program changes at the meeting; the item was a ceremonial recognition and a call to the community to honor older residents and the volunteers who serve them.
