The West Hollywood Older Adults Advisory Board honored longtime volunteers Lynn LeMay and Larry Block, heard a public‑safety update reporting a roughly 20% rise in medical calls tied to an aging population, and received program updates including an upcoming health fair and senior events at Plummer Park.
The West Hollywood Older Adults Advisory Board honored volunteers Lynn LeMay and Larry Block at its May meeting and spent much of the session hearing updates on public safety, city services and upcoming events.
Tariq Carter, manager of the Human Services Division for the City of West Hollywood, introduced the two honorees, saying Lynn LeMay has volunteered with Project Angel Food since 1989 and has advocated for tenant rights and LGBTQ elders; Larry Block, a resident and business owner since 1985, was recognized for long service including keeping senior Meals on Wheels operating during the COVID‑19 pandemic.
"This has been a lovely morning," LeMay said after receiving the award, reflecting on decades of volunteer work and on being an "older adult." Block said the recognition reminded him of the need to continue building community activities for seniors and cited the city’s role in advancing housing protections for older adults.
