BY: Senator MAYER

        COMMENDING  the  Friends  of  White  Plains Public
        Schools upon the occasion of  celebrating  its  25th
        Anniversary on April 24, 2022

  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 who would devote themselves 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
commend  the Friends of White Plains Public Schools upon the occasion of
celebrating its 25th Anniversary at a Gala on Sunday, April 24, 2022, at
Westchester Hills Golf Club in White Plains, New York; and

  WHEREAS, This auspicious occasion will also pay tribute to long-time
member of the Friends of White Plains Public Schools Board of Directors,
Michele Schoenfeld, for her four decades of  service  as  clerk  of  the
White  Plains  Board of Education and as a life-long volunteer leader in
its schools, the City of White Plains and the White Plains Hospital; and

  WHEREAS, Proceeds  from  the  25th  Anniversary  Gala  will  support
innovative  academic  and  cultural  enrichment  programs in the current
school year and beyond, special programs made even more important due to
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and

  WHEREAS, The Friends of White Plains Public Schools is a  non-profit
organization  run  entirely  by  volunteers  who have raised and donated
significant funds to support over 190 academic and  cultural  enrichment
programs  that  have benefited thousands of students in all White Plains
Public Schools; and

  WHEREAS, The success of the White Plains Public Schools is in direct
correlation to the efforts of its co-Presidents  Lydia  Kris  and  Larry
Geiger,  its Board of Directors and volunteers 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 institution and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that when
organizations of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to  our
attention,  they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens
of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commend  the Friends of White Plains Public Schools upon the occasion of
celebrating its 25th Anniversary on April 24, 2022; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That copies of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to  Michele  Schoenfeld  and  Lydia  Kris and Larry Geiger,
co-Presidents, Friends of White Plains Public Schools.
