Calling all seniors...
Allegany Magazine is looking for seniors. On the heels of releasing its annual "Fascinating People" edition, the area's lifestyle magazine is looking for nominations from
the public for the "Senior of the Year" for a special edition to be published in 2010. "What we found when we have put the fascinating people issues together year after year is that many of
the people on that list are area seniors who are breaking the mold," said Shane Riggs, managing editor of Allegany Magazine. "We have discovered that in this area, retirement means
nothing and our seniors here are still very active and viable contributors to the community. There are people in their 80s and 90s around here still going to work everyday, still heading up
charities, still dancing and singing and loving life." The magazine is asking its readers to submit the name of an outstanding person over the age of 60 with a brief explanation as to why that
person should be titled "senior of the year." There should also be in the narrative a means to contact that person. While all of the nominations submitted will be included, one nomination will
be chosen to be the area's "senior of the year" by Allegany Magazine and will be photographed exclusively to grace the cover of the special edition coming next year. "Our senior of the
year will be someone over 60 who defies the stereotype of what a senior citizen is or should be, someone active, who volunteers or works hard, who believes age is just a number and
numbers don't matter," said Riggs. "It will be someone special that will be for sure." Readers are asked to submit names and a brief explanation as to why that person deserves to be named
2010 Senior of the Year to sriggs@alleganymagazine.com or mail them to Allegany Magazine/Seniors/PO Box 1662/Cumberland, MD 21501 before Friday February 5.
