  WHEREAS,  It  is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
pay tribute to those fraternal organizations of high purpose and  worthy
accomplishment whose endeavors have faithfully served the welfare of the
citizens of the State of New York; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the  100th  Anniversary  of the Kiwanis Club of Auburn, New

  WHEREAS, Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to
changing the world, one child and one community at a time; and

  WHEREAS, The six permanent objectives of Kiwanis  International  are
to:  give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material
values  of  life;  encourage  the daily living of the Golden Rule in all
human relationships; promote the adoption and the application of  higher
social,  business,  and  professional standards; develop, by precept and
example, a more intelligent, aggressive,  and  serviceable  citizenship;
provide,  through  Kiwanis  clubs,  a  practical  means to form enduring
friendships,  to  render  altruistic  service,  and  to   build   better
communities; and cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public
opinion   and   high  idealism  which  make  possible  the  increase  of
righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill; and

  WHEREAS, The Kiwanis Club of Auburn, New  York  was  established  on
November 13, 1919; and

  WHEREAS,  Remaining  true to its century old mission of "Serving the
Children of the World," the  members  of  the  Kiwanis  Club  of  Auburn
sponsor  two  annual  scholarships, the Glenn Mosher Scholarship and the
Youth Scholarship, positively impacting the  lives  of  countless  local
students; and

  WHEREAS,   Furthermore,   for   more   than  30  years,  this  vital
organization has held its Annual Duck Derby on Memorial Day;  since  its
inception, this event has awarded more than $750,000 to local causes and
organizations; and

  WHEREAS,  Over  its distinguished 100-year history, the Kiwanis Club
of Auburn has demonstrated  continuous  service  to  the  residents  and
communities which it serves; and

  WHEREAS,  The  success  of  the  Kiwanis Club of Auburn is in direct
correlation  to  the  efforts  of  President  Christy   Robinson-Curran,
President-Elect  Lisa Carr, Secretary Karen Lockwood, Treasurer Dorothea
Hughes and Immediate Past President Brenda  Costello,  as  well  as  its
dedicated   members,   whose   involvement  is,  and  always  has  been,
characterized by an impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm,  and
