The House concurrent resolution honors Joan W. Coursier for her exceptional community service in establishing and leading the Halifax senior meal program. Recognizing the importance of providing hot and nutritious meals to senior citizens, Joan identified a need in her community 25 years ago and took the initiative to create a program that not only offered food but also fostered a sense of belonging among the elderly. Her dedication to this cause has involved various roles, including provisioning, preparing, and serving meals, all while enhancing the program's quality with her superb cooking.
As Joan concludes her service on March 21, 2025, the resolution acknowledges her unwavering commitment to the Halifax community and the positive impact she has made over the years. A festive gathering will be held to celebrate her contributions, and the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to Joan Coursier as a formal recognition of her exemplary service.
