  WHEREAS,  Individuals  and  organizations  devoted  to improving the
quality of life for others, enabling them to build lives of dignity  and
self-worth are deserving of the highest praise and recognition; and

necessary to be successful, productive citizens; and

Jeannette Frank upon the occasion of her retirement after  40  years  of
distinguished service to The Arc of Schuyler; she will officially retire
from  the  esteemed  position  of  Executive Director on Monday, July 1,
2019; and

  WHEREAS, Jeannette Frank has served as Executive Director of The Arc

services for people  with  disabilities  and  their  families  including

organization   and  advancement  of  community-based  services  such  as

enterprises  operated  by The Arc of Schuyler, including Franklin Street
Gallery and Gift Shop and Glen Copack; and

  WHEREAS, Jeannette Frank began her illustrious career as an Outreach
Worker in 1978, during which time she met with families to  discuss  new
service options provided locally through The Arc of Schuyler, and helped
those   families  bring  their  loved  ones  with  disabilities  out  of
institutions and to their home communities; and

  WHEREAS,  For  the  past  four  decades,  Jeannette  Frank  rendered
faithful,  conscientious  and  valuable  service to The Arc of Schuyler,
earning the admiration, esteem and affection of her colleagues; and

Frank  leaves behind more than mere bricks and mortar; she leaves behind
a legacy to those individuals supported by The Arc of Schuyler  as  well
as their families and the community-at-large; and

  WHEREAS,  Rare  indeed  is  the  occurrence  of such a compassionate
blending of strength, leadership,  intellect,  and  commitment  as  that
demonstrated  by  Jeannette  Frank  over  a  lifetime  of  sacrifice and
dedication to others; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
congratulate  Jeannette  Frank upon the occasion of her retirement after

40 years of distinguished service to The Arc  of  Schuyler;  and  be  it
further
