OSA Senior Citizen of the Year Nominations

Hi All – An opportunity to think about the volunteer work done each day by your members and residents!

Office of Services to the Aging (OSA) and the Commission on Services to the Ag-ing are accepting nominations for this year’s “Senior Citizen of the Year.” Each year two older Michigan residents are selected to receive an award for their outstanding volunteerism—one for community leadership and one for service to others.

The award winners will be honored at a special ceremony during the 6th annual Older Michiganians Day on June 4 at the State Capitol in Lansing. Nominations are gladly accepted from businesses, community service and faith-based organi-zations, associations, fraternal organizations, and other public and private enti-ties who value older adults as a resource. Individuals age 60 or older are eligible for nominations for uncompensated work performed, especially over the past year.

Please complete the nomination form available online at www.michigan.gov/osa and return it to OSA no later than May 3!

Contact Shirley Bentsen by phone at 517-373-8765 or by email at the address listed above if you have any questions.

ACA Volunteer of the Year Award accepted by SC Ting Chang

I’m pleased to pass on the wonderful news that Ting Chang, part time Service Coordinator at Madison Heights Co-op, accepted the Volunteer of the Year award from the Association of Chinese Americans at their 40th Anniversary Celebration.

Co-Service Coordinators Harriet Harris, Kari Wilson, and Katherine Simpson were present at the ceremony representing Hannan and ACA.

Ting and Katherine work for ACA and assist Hannan with 8 hours of bilingual Mandarin/English service coordination at Madison Heights Co-op. Their contributions to our program are vital to working with the members of Madison Heights Co-op, 30% of whom are Chinese American.

Way to go Ting!
