"Goes above and beyond the call of duty ... dedicated ... does whatever it takes to get the job done ... lifelong learner ... 70 year old dynamo ... tireless in his quest for excellence ... passionate about her job."

These words have been used by employers to describe some of the men and women who will be honored at the 2005 "Ability is Ageless" Luncheon for the roles they play in the success of their companies.

There is still time for you to honor the men and women in your company or organization for their hard work and dedication and at the same time salute Congressman John Dingell for his 5 decades of service in the U.S. House of Representatives.  The congressman will be presented with the 2005 Neal Shine Lifetime Achievement Award for his remarkable record of service and his many accomplishments.

The deadline for submitting nominations to be considered by our awards selection committee is October 27.  From the forms received by that date, nine nominees will receive Most ABLE Awards.  All nominees will receive Distinguished Service Awards and will be featured in a special slide show during the luncheon.

To be eligible for these honors, an employee must either be at least 50 years of age or have 25 years of service in his company.  The nomination form is attached or can be downloaded from our web site by clicking here.

If you miss the October 27 deadline, your company's outstanding older workers can still be included in the program booklet summarizing their accomplishments.  Their photos can also be included in the luncheon slide show if you e-mail a digital photo by November 4.

The luncheon is open to anyone who wants to join in this celebration, but reservations are required ahead of time and can be made online, by completing the attached form, or by phoning Operation ABLE of Michigan at (313) 832-0922.

Complete details on the luncheon are on our web site at www.OperationABLE.org/luncheon.  Attached with this issue of ABLE eNews are a fact sheet on the luncheon, the nomination form, and a form for making your reservations.  You can also make your reservation online on our web site by clicking here.
