when jason talked about the adult daycare center, i wrote to all of you asking you to support a resolution for the continuation of the adult day health care centers. unfortunately, the state decided to eliminate that program. but the professional groups are still fighting and hope that there will be a adhc version too. so at that time, i will come back to you and hope that you will -- whatever you can do not abandon the most wonderful population which is are the very frail elderly. i want to thank the mayor for giving me this honor. i thought that the theme of this celebration, our history is our strength, makes so much strength. i was in washington, d.c. last week. and i thought that after 35 years, the seniors and human services have made some strides putting together some very, very essential and valuable

programs. but unfortunately as i visited some o our legislators, they are cutting immigration. they are attacking a lot of the programs that we have built -- we have worked so hard to build. so i thought that if we learn from history, our work has just begun and we cannot stop. we have to continuously advocate and lobby so that the block grants, the nutrition money, the employment money and the adult daycare money get to stay in our community. so thank you very, very much for this honor. and i hope to see all of you downstairs at the reception. thank you very much. [applause] >> i want to congratulate again on behalf of the full board all of the honorees and invite up to the podium for some final closing remarks dr. barassi.
