Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 7, 2025, as Grandparents Day in the State of New York
AI Summary
This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim September 7, 2025, as Grandparents Day in New York State, highlighting the important role grandparents play in children's lives. The resolution traces the historical origins of Grandparents Day, noting that it was initially proposed in 1969 by a nine-year-old named Russell Capper and later championed by Marian McQuade, an activist for senior citizens. The resolution emphasizes that Grandparents Day, which is traditionally celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day, is an opportunity to recognize the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, acknowledge the emotional and social contributions of older generations, and encourage younger people to learn from and appreciate their grandparents. The legislative body seeks to honor grandparents as vital voices of the past and role models for future generations, and the resolution includes a formal request to transmit a copy of the document to Governor Hochul after its passage.
