to celebrate Latin culture in the Mohawk Valley; and

  WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Mohawk Valley  Latino  Association
has  strived to improve the standards of living for all residents of the

Valley, and to help shape the minds of their youth  and  demonstrate  to
them  the  great  opportunities  available  within the Mohawk Valley and
their Nation; and

  WHEREAS, This vital organization has pledged to accept and abide  by
three  principles as timeless guidelines for aiding the lives of others:
give people the opportunity to improve their  mind,  body,  and  spirit;
reach out to the people of the community we serve, especially those that
find it difficult to enhance their quality of life; and remain committed
to serving as a non-profit organization; and

  WHEREAS,  The  success of the Mohawk Valley Latino Association is in
direct correlation to the efforts  of  its  Chairman/Executive  Director

organizations  which  enhance  the  well-being  and  vitality  of  their
community and have shown a long and sustained commitment  to  excellence
certainly  have  earned the recognition and applause of all the citizens
of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
