        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        June  2019,  as  Volunteer Month in the State of New
        York

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of  this  Legislative  Body  to  recognize
official  months  that  are set aside to call attention to the dedicated
efforts of those individuals from across  the  State  of  New  York  who
volunteer their time and energies in service to the community; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim June 2019, as Volunteer
Month in the State of New York; and

  WHEREAS,  Volunteer  Month  is an opportunity to recognize and thank
volunteers who lend their time, talent, voice and support to causes they
care about; their stories serve to inspire others to take action and  to
realize their power to make a difference; and

  WHEREAS,  Volunteer  Month  is  also  a time to celebrate the impact
volunteer services have on the community;  the  many  events,  volunteer
projects and social media conversations that take place during the month
demonstrate  that  every  individual  has  the power to create change by
taking  action  to  tackle  society's  greatest  challenges  and   build
stronger, more resilient communities; and

  WHEREAS,  Volunteerism  is an essential element of all societies; it
provides a way in which  the  human  values  of  community,  caring  and
serving can be sustained and strengthened; and

  WHEREAS, Volunteerism promotes family and community solidarity; most
importantly,  people  who  volunteer  their time in civic and charitable
endeavors inspire others to the call of volunteerism; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to have the  opportunity  to
recognize  the  impact of all those who volunteer within their community
and who inspire others to make a  difference  by  improving  this  great
Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim June 2019, as Volunteer
Month in the State of New York; 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.
