The Greatest Generation
Paul J. Lanzikos, Executive Director
Welcome to a Special Edition of The Shoreline, on the eve of our 2008 fundraising event Sail the Seven Seas. As our whole team works on "swabbing the decks and polishing the guardrails" we think back to a decade when many of our clients were teenagers, just crossing the threshold to their adult years.
Even though times were tough with the Great Depression, the prospect of a future bright with opportunity and the promise of security for all citizens was being heralded with FDR's New Deal. Lying just head, for what was to become known as the Greatest Generation, was the ultimate triumph of World War II.
We celebrate the accomplishments of this generation in the high style of a 1930's ocean liner. We acclaim their contributions which shaped the last half of the twentieth century. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for their years of family and community sacrifices and honor their commitment to excellence.
Today, North Shore Elder Services provides services to many from this generation. This is just a small payment in return for what they have given our society. Our Board, Staff, Vendor Agencies, and Volunteers cannot meet this commitment alone. We are dependent on the advocacy and leadership of our local legislators to secure funding for our programs. And most of all, we count on support from the community.
We greatly appreciate the financial contributions of our event sponsors, the donation of auction items, and all the individuals who joined us as "passengers" to sail the seven seas with North Shore Elder Services. Together, we are keeping our promise of life, made easier for thousands of elders, their families and their caregivers.
I wish you "bon voyage" wherever life may take you in the year ahead.
