        Community  Partner  by  The  Food  Pantries  for the
        Capital District on October 4, 2018

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize that
the quality and character of life in the  communities  across  New  York
State  are  reflective  of  the concerned and dedicated efforts of those
organizations and individuals who would devote themselves to the welfare
of the community and its citizenry; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
commend WAMC Northeast Public Radio upon the occasion of  its  selection
as an Outstanding Community Partner by The Food Pantries for the Capital
District,  to  be observed at its 7th Annual Harvest Evening Celebration
on Thursday, October 4, 2018, at Franklin Plaza in Troy, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Established in 1979, The  Food  Pantries  for  the  Capital
District is a coalition of more than 60 food pantries located in Albany,
Rensselaer,  Saratoga,  and  Schenectady  Counties;  each year, The Food
Pantries helps fund, collect, and deliver 2.9 million pounds of food for
its food member pantries, which helps provide food to 59,000 people  for
approximately 3.3 million meals; and

  WHEREAS,  For  many  years,  WAMC  Northeast Public Radio has been a
strong  supporter  in  the  fight  against  hunger;  this  compassionate
organization  is being recognized for its many contributions to The Food
Pantries of the Capital  District,  and  to  the  people  this  valuable
organization serves; and

  WHEREAS,  WAMC  Northeast  Public  Radio  is a regional public radio
network based in Albany,  New  York;  with  the  support  of  its  loyal
listeners  and  underwriters,  WAMC  broadcasts  through a network of 28
stations in parts of seven Northeastern states: New York, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania; and

  WHEREAS,  WAMC  uses  its  airwaves  as  a   platform   to   provide
high-quality  programs,  ranging  from  award-winning  original regional
content  to  national,  international,  and   cultural   programs;   the
programming  covers  topics including news, arts, business, environment,
education, and politics; and

  WHEREAS, With more than 545,000 monthly listeners, WAMC ranks  among
the most-listened-to public radio stations in the United States; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense of this Legislative Body that those who
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

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commend  WAMC  Northeast Public Radio upon the occasion of its selection
as an Outstanding Community Partner by The Food Pantries for the Capital
District; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
