significant contributions to the quality of life therein; and

  WHEREAS, From time to time  this  Legislative  Body  takes  note  of
certain   extraordinary  individuals  and  organizations  it  wishes  to
recognize for their valued contributions to the success and progress  of
society and publicly acknowledge their endeavors which have enhanced the
basic humanity among us all; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to honor Lucia's
Angels upon the occasion of its designation for special  recognition  by
the  North  Fork  Breast  Health Coalition to be celebrated at its Fifth

  WHEREAS,  Lucia's  Angels is a foundation committed to helping women
and families on Eastern Long  Island  with  late-stage  women's  cancers
including  breast  cancer,  ovarian  cancer, cervical cancer and uterine
cancer; and

  WHEREAS, This vital foundation was created in loving memory of Lucia
Terzi Bagan, a giving woman with a big heart who,  while  surrounded  by
family  and  friends, made a wish in her final days that other women and
their families could have  the  same  love  and  support  through  their
toughest times; and

  WHEREAS, Lucia's Angels has provided countless individuals with help
and funding for: gasoline gift cards, grocery gift cards, heating bills,
dental  work, housecleaning, rent, eyeglasses, food trains, babysitting,
heating bills, health insurance premiums, automobile repair,  ambulatory
trips, therapeutic massage, transportation, salon services and wigs; and

  WHEREAS,  From  special  wishes  like one more trip to the beach, to
providing extra child-care, to the holding of a hand, Lucia's spirit and
Angels will be there; and

  WHEREAS,  Over  its  distinguished  history,  Lucia's   Angels   has
demonstrated  continuous  service to the residents and communities which
it serves; and

  WHEREAS, The success of Lucia's Angels is in direct  correlation  to
the  efforts  of  its  President and Co-Founder Stacy Quarty, as well as
Co-Founder Susie Barry Roden, whose involvement is, and always has been,
characterized by an impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm,  and
an  uncompromising  standard of excellence in all endeavors on behalf of
the organization and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS, This auspicious occasion presents an opportunity  for  this
Legislative Body to recognize and pay tribute to Lucia's Angels; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that when
individuals and organizations of such noble aims and accomplishments are
brought to our attention, they should be celebrated  and  recognized  by
all the citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
