McDonald, Jr.; and OCES' Board of Directors. Plymouth Selectman Mathew Muratore, Caitlin Kenerson from Representative Christine Canavan's office, and Lisa Budge Johnson from Sheriff McDonald's office also attended. Senate President Murray spoke of the challenges to human service agencies delivering services to elders and disabled individuals in the current economic climate and she elaborated on how the Fiscal 2011 budget will impact funding for the upcoming year.

 

"We're in a tough economic climate and seniors are especially at risk," noted Senator Murray addressing OCES and elder service representatives in the audience. "We're doing the best we can and we thank you for all you do."

 

A member of the Massachusetts State Senate since 1993 and elected President of the Senate in 2007, Senator Murray has worked to improve the lives of seniors throughout her career. Following her speech, Al Norman, Executive Director of Mass Home Care presented Senator Murray with a "Home Care Hero" award.

 

Diana DiGiorgi, Executive Director of OCES who is also the Vice President of Mass Home Care said, "We want to thank Senator Murray for everything she has done and continues to do for elder consumers."
