What are the ENCORE! Lakeshore Awards? All of these men did some of their finest work as “seniors.” Ben Franklin served as a diplomat in our nation’s earliest days. Thomas Edison created some of his best inventions after age 70. And Colonel Sanders fine-tuned his herbs and spices and launched a super-successful restaurant chain when he was 65. The Resthaven Care Community presents the ENCORE! Lakeshore Awards as a special project to celebrate outstanding achievements of Lakeshore community members in their retirement years. Resthaven hopes to bring awareness to the incredible talents, gifts and fortitude of the extraordinary people over 70 years old who have contributed to the betterment of the Holland area or to society at large. Resthaven and The Holland Sentinel want to help prepare and encourage our growing population to remain vital and productive well into their retirement years. We believe that by providing the opportunity to share inspiring stories with younger generations it will inspire, motivate and create an atmosphere of opportunity that will contribute to the quality of life on the Lakeshore. |
