August 6, 2008 

Once again the voters of Delaware County have come together to support the mission of exceptional home and community services for older adults and their families. We at the Council for Older Adults thank you for allowing us to continue our work by your favorable vote to support the local senior services levy. This is truly a great and supportive community and we are blessed to be a part of it.

We take this most recent vote of support as a reaffirmation that we are on the right track and that we are doing the right things and doing them in the right way. It is always difficult to ask people to raise their taxes and this is especially true during an economic turndown. The fact that you have done so indicates both an awareness of the need for our services and an appreciation the value being provided through this levy. 

Big thanks to our board and our staff for insuring our high quality services. Great kudos goes to our exception volunteers of the Committee to Save Senior Services and the outstanding leadership of campaign chair, Joan Lawrence. This committee spent untold hours getting the word out about the levy throughout Delaware County and are to be commended for their enthusiasm and hard work.

Words can not express our appreciation for the support that has been given by local voters. We shall continue to do our best every day to deserve your trust. Thanks again.

Respectfully, 

Peter Shears
Board President, Council for Older Adults

Robert Horrocks
Executive Director, Council for Older Adults
