As you know, the <br />Messer Award recognizes a community that has excelled in addressing the needs of its older <br />citizens. It is named in honor of Ernest B. Messer, a champion for aging in the General Assembly <br />and former assistant secretary for aging for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human <br />Services. Your Department on Aging and the Shepherd's Center of Greater Winston-Salem share <br />the distinction of being organizations that excel in serving our older population. <br />On behalf of the Division of Aging and Adult Services, I congratulate you and the Orange <br />County Department on Aging on this honor and look forward to presenting the award to you and <br />your Department in the near future. Please contact Mary Edwards of the Division at your <br />convenience, and we will arrange an appropriate time and place to present the award to your <br />organization. <br />Again, it is a privilege to present this award to your exemplary organization and to formally <br />recognize your many contributions to Orange County and the aging community in North <br />Carolina. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dennis W.
