BY: Senator RANZENHOFER

        HONORING  Clarence  Pharmacy  upon the occasion of
        its designation as recipient of the  Small  Business
        of  the  Year  Award  by  the  Clarence  Chamber  of
        Commerce on March 5, 2020

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize those
small businesses within the State of New York which  contribute  to  the
economic health and vitality of the communities they serve; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Clarence Pharmacy upon the occasion of its designation as  recipient  of
the  Small  Business  of  the  Year  Award  by  the  Clarence Chamber of
Commerce, to be celebrated at its 48th Annual Awards Dinner on Thursday,
March 5, 2020, at Samuel's Grande Manor, Williamsville, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Clarence Pharmacy is receiving this prestigious  award  for
its  steadfast  and  unremitting  commitment to its beloved community of
Clarence, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Clarence Pharmacy officially opened its doors to the public
in August of 2016, when two  longtime  friends  finally  realized  their
dream  of owning an independent community pharmacy; it was certainly not
without years of planning, plenty of sacrifices, and an  immense  amount
of  unforeseen  challenges;  the arduous struggle confirmed the value of
this endeavor; and

  WHEREAS, Owners of Clarence Pharmacy, Kevin Clary and Jon Vorreuter,
first met on move in day at Albany College of Pharmacy in  the  Fall  of
1988, while playing hackysack with a group of freshmen; and

  WHEREAS,  On that day, it became readily apparent these two pharmacy
students were going to become friends, however,  no  one  could  predict
that 30 years later they would be the best of friends, in addition to 20
years  as  brothers-in-law,  and  now three years as successful business
partners; and

  WHEREAS, Today, Clarence Pharmacy remains the only locally owned and
operated independent pharmacy in the area and offers free delivery seven
days a week; and

  WHEREAS, The success of Clarence Pharmacy is in  direct  correlation
to the efforts of its dedicated owners, Kevin and Jon, 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 business and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  with  great  pleasure  that  this Legislative Body
acknowledges this exceptional business, its contributions to  the  local
and  state  economies,  and its vibrant role in improving the quality of
life in its community, fully confident that it will  continue  to  enjoy
the  sparkling successes it has experienced thus far; now, therefore, be
it


  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor  Clarence  Pharmacy  upon  the  occasion  of  its  designation  as
recipient  of  the  Small  Business  of  the  Year Award by the Clarence
Chamber of Commerce; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Kevin Clary and Jon Vorreuter, Owners, Clarence Pharmacy.
