BY: Senator PARKER

        COMMENDING  the Junior League of Brooklyn upon the
        occasion of hosting its 11th Annual Belle  and  Beau
        of the Ball on April 27, 2019

  WHEREAS,  It is the custom of this Legislative Body that the quality
and character of life in this great Empire State is greatly enriched  by
the  faithful  and  diligent  work of those organizations which serve to
meet the needs 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 the Junior League of Brooklyn upon the occasion of  hosting  its
11th  Annual  Belle  and Beau of the Ball, to be held on Saturday, April
27, 2019, at P.S. 161, The Crown School in Brooklyn, New York; and

  WHEREAS, This auspicious event provides young  women  and  men  with
formal attire, free of charge, to attend prom and graduation festivities
coupled with a college scholarship; and

  WHEREAS,  The  Junior League of Brooklyn was established in 1910, by
women interested in fighting the health and social  problems  associated
with  over-crowded tenement neighborhoods; it is the third oldest of the
292 Junior Leagues comprised of  more  than  155,000  women  in  Canada,
Mexico,   the   United  Kingdom  and  the  United  States,  through  the
Association of Junior Leagues International; and

  WHEREAS, For the past 109 years, the Junior League of  Brooklyn  has
been  committed  to  promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of
women of all races, religions and national origins,  and  improving  the
community  through  the  effective  action  and  leadership  of  trained
volunteers; and

  WHEREAS, It is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that  those
organizations   which   unselfishly  devote  their  energy,  talent  and
thoughtful care on behalf of improving the quality and dignity  of  life
in  the  community,  are  worthy and due full praise and recognition for
their noble and dedicated efforts; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commend  the  Junior League of Brooklyn upon the occasion of hosting its
11th Annual Belle and Beau of the Ball on April  27,  2019;  and  be  it
further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Junior League of Brooklyn.
