  WHEREAS, Individuals who give of their time and energies  and  serve

Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce's prestigious community  service
award,  given to recognize and honor an extraordinary individual who has

  WHEREAS,  Founded  in  1914,  the  Adirondack  Regional  Chamber  of
Commerce  (ARCC)  is  a 100% membership funded organization representing

  WHEREAS, Dedicated to strengthening his community, George A.  Ferone
championed  the  construction  of a 40,000 square foot facility in Glens

  WHEREAS,  Further,  George  A. Ferone additionally gives of his time
working with Glens Falls Hospital, the Glens Falls Hospital  Foundation,
