We were proud to recognize and celebrate the many contributions of older adults during our Older Americans Month Celebration on Friday, May 1st. 💐

These incredible individuals have made a lasting impact through their passion and dedication to volunteering in our community:

❤️ Barbara Borrelli
💜 Douglas Cotton (Sue McMaster graciously accepted on Doug’s behalf)
❤️ Rita McCabe
💜 Robert Nelson
❤️ Leslie Potter
💜 Jane Winters

We also took a moment to honor and remember the meaningful contributions of the late James (Jim) Hare and Barbara Skorczewski. Their legacy continues to inspire us. 🤍

We are also excited to celebrate the Elmira College Speech and Hearing Clinic as a newly designated Age Friendly Business! 👏

From the entire Department of Aging staff “THANK YOU” for your time, compassion, and energy you bring to our community every day.

Thank you to our community partners who were able to share information and offer opportunities for older adults to volunteer in Chemung County!

Norman Kennell..... THANK YOU!!!!! Retired January 13th, 2026 after 30 years of volunteering for Faith in Action. His wife sent him our way 30 years ago when she started babysitting their grandchildren. He retired from NYSEG and spent his retirement volunteering for Faith in Action, helping with his grandchildren and sharing work as rental property owners with his brother. He says," Faith in Action was his way to give back and he never took a penny." At 90 years old he is going to slow down and do some travelling. He and his wife are planning a trip to Ireland with his son who is also retired. How incredibly rewarding his time with Faith in Action was to him and to Faith in Action and every life that he touched along the way! 30 YEARS AS A VOLUNTEER!!! JUST INCREDIBLE!!!!! GOD BLESSED!! GOD BLESS!!
