BY: Senator RITCHIE

        LEGISLATIVE     RESOLUTION  commemorating  the  45th
        Anniversary of the  founding  of  the  St.  Lawrence
        County Snowmobile Association

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize that
the  quality  and  character  of life in the communities across New York
State are reflective of the concerned and  dedicated  efforts  of  those
organizations  and  individuals  that  are devoted to the welfare 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
commemorate the 45th Anniversary of the founding  of  the  St.  Lawrence
County Snowmobile Association; and

  WHEREAS,  Forty-five  years  ago,  representatives  of  St. Lawrence
County's snowmobile clubs came together to  organize  the  St.  Lawrence
County   Snowmobile   Association,   a   not-for-profit,   all-volunteer
organization dedicated  to  helping  families  enjoy  winter  recreation
across the County; and

  WHEREAS,  Numerous  volunteers  engaged  in  a  collective effort to
develop a safe, family-oriented, countywide  system  which  spanned  St.
Lawrence County, the largest county in New York State; and

  WHEREAS,  Today,  the  countywide  trail  system boasts 750 miles of
groomed trails, and  connects  riders  to  Franklin,  Jefferson,  Lewis,
Hamilton  and Herkimer Counties, helping them to enjoy the beauty of the
North Country and take part in a pastime which has been  a  mainstay  in
many families for generations; and

  WHEREAS,  Thanks  to  the cooperation of hundreds of landowners, St.
Lawrence County's trail system is one of America's premier trail systems
and is  a  major  tourist  destination  resulting  in  the  creation  of
year-round  economies for many rural communities that now enjoy bustling
stores, inns, gas stations, restaurants and other businesses which might
not  exist  today  without  the  efforts  of  the  St.  Lawrence  County
Snowmobile Association; and

  WHEREAS,  On its 45th anniversary, we not only look back at the many
accomplishments of the St. Lawrence County  Snowmobile  Association,  we
also look toward the future with excitement and anticipation of what the
coming  years  will  hold  for  this  organization,  its members and the
positive impact they will continue to have on the region; and

  WHEREAS, It is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that  those
organizations  which  enhance  the  well-being  and  vitality  of  their
community and have shown a long and sustained commitment  to  excellence
certainly  have  earned the recognition and applause of all the citizens
of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commemorate  the  45th  Anniversary  of the founding of the St. Lawrence
County Snowmobile Association; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the St. Lawrence County Snowmobile Association.
