BY: M. of A. Walczyk

        HONORING  Cindy  and Fay Sheldon upon the occasion
        of their designation for special recognition by  the
        New York State Office for the Aging on May 21, 2019

  WHEREAS,  Senior citizens bring a wealth of experience and knowledge
to the increasingly active roles they play  in  today's  society;  their
past  contributions  and  future  participation are a vital part of, and
valuable asset to, the fabric of community life and activity; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to  honor  Cindy  and
Fay   Sheldon  upon  the  occasion  of  their  designation  for  special
recognition by the New York State Office for the  Aging  at  its  Annual
Older New Yorker's Day Celebration on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, at the Hart
Theatre Lounge in The Egg, Albany, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Each May, the New York State Office for the Aging pauses to
acknowledge  the outstanding contributions made by older citizens during
National Older Americans Month; and

  WHEREAS, Members of older generations have helped  build  and  shape
our  Nation  to  be  the  greatest  in the world; they have defended our
freedoms and values to ensure that those who come after  them  may  have
better  lives; nowhere in the Nation is the legacy of their efforts more
visible and more a part of the lives of all citizens than  here  in  the
State of New York; and

  WHEREAS,  Residents of West Potsdam, New York, Cindy and Fay Sheldon
have been happily married for 19  years;  together,  they  have  enjoyed
volunteering  their  time  and  energies to numerous local organizations
such as the home delivery  program,  the  West  Potsdam  Volunteer  Fire
Department and AMVETS Post 282; and

  WHEREAS,  Born  and  raised  in New York, Cindy Sheldon attended the
Massena School of Business; after working at Adirondack Auto  Sales  for
15  years, she bought and ran the Schoolhouse Market in West Potsdam for
17 years; and

  WHEREAS, Fay Sheldon was also  born  and  raised  in  New  York;  he
proudly  served  his  country  as  a  member  of the United States Army,
retiring after 20 years of meritorious service;  he  then  worked  as  a
driver for Trimm Trucking until he officially retired in 2013; and

  WHEREAS,  With  them  throughout  have been their three children and
five grandchildren, all of whom have shown them  love  and  support  and
rejoice in their many achievements; and

  WHEREAS,  Rare  indeed  is  the  impressive  dedication  shown by an
individual for the benefit of others which Cindy and  Fay  Sheldon  have
displayed throughout their lives; and

  WHEREAS,  Cindy  and  Fay  Sheldon,  a  very  active and industrious
couple, have inspired and enriched the lives of those they serve through

their volunteerism, generously sharing the wisdom gained over  years  of
experiencing life to its fullest; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Cindy and Fay Sheldon upon the occasion of their  designation  for
special  recognition  by  the New York State Office for the Aging on May
21, 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Cindy and Fay Sheldon.
