  WHEREAS,  It  is the sense of this Legislative Body to honor and pay
tribute  to  those  cultural  institutions   and   organizations   whose
commitment  to  promoting  the  richness  and  diversity of the arts and
entertainment world has  contributed  to  the  strength,  vitality,  and
cultural  enrichment  of  their  communities  and the great 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
commend the Capitol Theatre of Rome,  New  York  upon  the  occasion  of
hosting  its Annual Rome Arts Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Sunday,
May 7, 2023; and

  WHEREAS, The Capitol Civic Center, Inc. is a nonprofit organization;
its mission is to provide cultural and educational opportunities to  the
community  through  the  performing  and visual arts in Rome, New York's
historic 1928 theater and auxiliary event spaces; and

  WHEREAS, The Rome Arts Hall of Fame began in 2005 with a mission  to
honor  individuals,  living or deceased, who have a strong connection to
the Rome community and have a significant involvement in the performing,
visual or literary arts; the class of 2023 is the sixteenth group to  be
named to the Rome Arts Hall of Fame; and

  WHEREAS,  A performance by Rome Free Academy's show choir "Rhapsody"
will be a featured part of this year's program; and

  WHEREAS, The success of the Capitol Theatre  of  Rome  is  a  direct
result  to the unceasing efforts of the staff, the surrounding community

Esq., Maya Nelson, Joe Pfeiffer, Jr., Maria Rich, Roberta  Striker,  Ray

  WHEREAS,  The arts are the building blocks of civilization; they are
central  to  human  expression;  they  enlighten  us  and  inspire   the
imagination;  educational  institutions,  individuals, and organizations
which further such worthy purposes  richly  merit  the  recognition  and
appreciation of this Legislative Body and the people of the State of New
York; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the Capitol Theatre of Rome,  New  York  upon  the  occasion  of
