BY: Senator LITTLE

        HONORING  Robyn  Martin  upon  the occasion of her
        designation for special recognition by the New  York
        State Office for the Aging on May 21, 2019

  WHEREAS,  Senior citizens bring a wealth of experience and knowledge
to the increasingly active roles they play  in  today's  society;  their
past  contributions  and  future  participation are a vital part of, and
valuable asset to, the fabric of community life and activity; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Robyn Martin
upon the occasion of her designation for special recognition by the  New
York  State  Office  for  the Aging at its Annual Older New Yorkers' Day
Celebration on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, at the Hart Theatre Lounge in  The
Egg, Albany, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Each May, the New York State Office for the Aging pauses to
acknowledge  the outstanding contributions made by older citizens during
National Older Americans Month; and

  WHEREAS, Members of older generations have helped  build  and  shape
our  Nation  to  be  the  greatest  in the world; they have defended our
freedoms and values to ensure that those who come after  them  may  have
better  lives; nowhere in the Nation is the legacy of their efforts more
visible and more a part of the lives of all citizens than  here  in  the
State of New York; and

  WHEREAS, With a steadfast and unwavering commitment to her community
of  Malone,  New  York in Franklin County, Robyn Martin volunteered more
than 190 hours of her time to Hospice of the North County in 2018; and

  WHEREAS, Robyn Martin has continued to share her skills in  finance,
and has been instrumental in donor management and fundraising; and

  WHEREAS,  In  addition,  she is frequently found volunteering at her
church, and helping to distribute food at the local food pantry; and

  WHEREAS, Robyn Martin truly has a  heart  of  gold,  and  is  always
willing to lend a helping hand, regardless of the task asked of her; and

  WHEREAS,  Rare  indeed  is  the  impressive  dedication  shown by an
individual for the benefit of others which Robyn  Martin  has  displayed
throughout her life; and

  WHEREAS,  Robyn  Martin,  a  very  active and industrious woman, has
inspired and  enriched  the  lives  of  those  she  serves  through  her
volunteerism,  generously  sharing  the  wisdom  gained  over  years  of
experiencing life to its fullest; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
honor  Robyn  Martin  upon  the  occasion of her designation for special
recognition by the New York State Office for the Aging on May 21,  2019;
and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Robyn Martin.
