Show your appreciation and admiration for Long Island senior citizens by nominating them as “Savvy Senior” for this year’s Sixth Annual Savvy Senior Day. The Association of Generational Experts for Seniors (AGES) is accepting “Savvy Senior” nominations now through Monday, Aug. 31.
Each senior entered will be considered for 2015’s Savvy Senior King and Queen, both of whom will be announced and crowned during AGES’ Sixth Annual Savvy Senior Day at Parker Jewish Institute in New Hyde Park, NY from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 20.
Participating in the coronation of this year’s Savvy Senior King and Queen will be 2014 Savvy Senior King William Young of Huntington and 2014 Savvy Senior Queen Lillian Guadagno of Valley Stream. All nominated seniors will be publicly recognized, with this year’s King and Queen receiving gift certificates for professional studio portraits, compliments of Bradford Renaissance Portraits. The festivities will include food and music provided by a disc jockey.
“There are so many unsung heroes who make up our senior community living right here on Long Island,” said Kevin Lawrence, AGES chairman. “Each year, we receive such wonderful Savvy Senior nominations from families all over Long Island who in turn allow us the privilege in casting a well-deserved spotlight on their special seniors. We encourage everyone out there to get out and vote for their special senior.”
