BY: Senator METZGER

        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        May 19-21, 2019, as the 84th Annual 4-H Capital Days
        in the State of New York

  WHEREAS,  In  the  course of the evolving development of this Empire
State, if the ingredients of  shared  concern  and  responsive  endeavor
combine  in  the  symmetry  of  a  commitment  to governance, there have
emerged among the facilities of the State  of  New  York  certain  dates
which warrant commemoration; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, it is the sense of this  Legislative  Body  to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim May 19-21, 2019, as the
84th Annual 4-H Capital Days in the State of New York; and

  WHEREAS,  The  event,  which  is  coordinated  by the New York State
Association of  Cornell  Cooperative  Extension  4-H  Youth  Development
Educators,  will  involve  approximately  100  participants representing
every county in New York State; and

  WHEREAS, The objectives of 4-H Capital Days are: to achieve a better
understanding of the public  policy  process  from  a  state  government
perspective;  to  gain  a better understanding of state-local government
relations; to provide an opportunity for delegates to meet and  interact
with  their  legislators; to create an awareness of career opportunities
in New York State government; and to meet and exchange experiences  with
delegates from other counties; and

  WHEREAS,  The  rich  history  of 4-H Capital Days is recorded in the
Cooperative Extension's Archives with photographs of  4-H  members  with
past  Governors; in the 1940s, a meal at the Governor's Mansion was part
of this event and a treasured memory for all those who attended; and

  WHEREAS, The 4-H Capital Days Program is  specifically  designed  to
allow  for  greater  participation  in the machinery of governance; this
program focuses upon the legislative  process  with  an  explanation  of
procedures and methods; and

  WHEREAS,  Through their sustained interest in the method and process
of governance, the 2019 participants in the 84th Annual 4-H Capital Days
program will so advance that spirit of united purpose and shared concern
which is the unalterable manifestation of our American experience;  now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim May 19-21, 2019, as the
84th Annual 4-H Capital Days in the State of New York,  fully  confident
that  this program is so clearly in accord with our shared commitment to
preserve and to enhance the legacy which is our American  heritage;  and
be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the  State  of
New York.
