quality of life for the county's residents; and

  WHEREAS, The Yates County Chamber of Commerce enjoys a  relationship
with  the Keuka Wine Trail (KWT) as its administrative team; the Chamber

  WHEREAS,  The  success of the Yates County Chamber of Commerce is in
direct correlation to the efforts of its dedicated Board  of  Directors,
staff,  and  volunteers,  whose  involvement  is,  and  always has been,
characterized by an impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm,  and
an  uncompromising  standard of excellence in all endeavors on behalf of
the organization and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS, Steeped in a proud and  distinguished  history,  the  Yates
County Chamber of Commerce may take just pride in its purposeful growth,
as  it  looks forward to continuing to serve the business, cultural, and
intellectual needs of the community; now, therefore, be it
