Senior Coalition seeks nominees for annual awards
FAIRFIELD — The Senior Coalition of Solano County is seeking exceptional seniors who have made a difference for its fourth annual Living Legacy Awards.
The awards will be presented from 2 to 5 p.m. May 15 at the Fairfield Community Center, 1000 Kentucky St. in Fairfield.
Awards to those 60 and older will be given in various categories, including:
- Community Spirit, an award given to a senior from each of the county’s cities. The winner exemplifies outstanding service, volunteerism, community connection and spirit.
- Social Innovation, for someone who has advocated for and implemented social change, such as policy and systems improvement.
- Exceptional Caregiver, for someone who, in their role as a caregiver, showed dedication and compassion.
- Intergeneration Influence and Impact consists of two awards. One is for an individual who has demonstrated outstanding service and commitment and made a lasting impression to a younger generation. The second is for someone who has had the same impact on seniors.
- Generative Age and Productivity, for a senior who continues to produce, create and contribute value, and/or develop new ideas through their profession, through hobbies or entrepreneurial ideas.
“Our goal is to find those special people who make a difference in our communities and/or exemplify vitality and productivity in aging,” wrote Rochelle Sherlock of the Senior Coalition in an email.
Last year, 29 seniors from Solano County were honored.
Nominations are due April 26. To submit nominees or for more information, contact Sherlock at 864-3984 or by email at rochelle_sherlock@comcast.net.
Solano County, the Area Agency on Aging, Solano County cities and other community groups are also partnering with the Senior Coalition to put on the event.
