  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside to recognize the  professional  cooks

the  State  of  New York, in conjunction with the observance of National
Culinary Arts Month; and

  WHEREAS, National Culinary Arts Month has  been  observed  since  at
least 2002; culinary arts, in which culinary means "related to cooking",
are  the  cuisine arts of food preparation, cooking, and presentation of
food, usually in the form of meals; and

  WHEREAS, Around the  country,  culinary  schools,  restaurants,  and
kitchens will be honoring chefs for their inventive recipes and creative
dishes;  the month-long celebration spotlights the best in the industry,
the latest trends and what is exciting in the culinary world; and

  WHEREAS, From delicate pastries to the freshest seafood  dishes  and
spice  combinations,  chefs and cooks hone their skills daily to stay on
the edge of culinary perfection; and

  WHEREAS, In an effort to equip and prepare students for their future
careers and post-secondary education  in  a  globally  competitive  21st
Century  environment,  the  William  Floyd  Hospitality Services Academy
within the William  Floyd  School  District,  located  in  the  Town  of
Brookhaven  on  Long  Island, continues to add new and exciting academic
opportunities for students with the Career and Technical Education (CTE)
academy programs; and

  WHEREAS, The goal  of  the  CTE  program,  along  with  the  already
thriving Business Education Department, is to give students a variety of
options  to  explore  their  interests  and  get  a  head start on their
secondary education or careers; and

  WHEREAS, This offers a two-year course in culinary arts; the  course
of  study includes classroom instruction and practical experience in the
skills and theory needed to be employed in a  variety  of  food  service
professions; and

  WHEREAS,  Students  will learn in a fully-equipped kitchen, which is
equivalent to those found in restaurants around the world; and

  WHEREAS, Successful completion of the program provides students with
an opportunity to earn up to  seven  advanced  college  credits  through
Suffolk  County Community College's Beacon Program; these credits may be

applied to the following SCCC programs of  study:  Culinary,  Baking  or
Hotel Management; and

  WHEREAS,   Events   which   celebrate  the  culinary  arts  and  the
professionals who create and inspire them should be  recognized  by  all
the citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim  July  2024,  as  Culinary
Arts  Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance
of National Culinary Arts Month; and be it further
