LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending the Park Slope Civic Council upon the
occasion of hosting its 50th Annual Park Slope House Tour

WHEREAS, It is the sense 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 organiza-
tions 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 Park Slope Civic Council upon the occasion of hosting its 50th Annu-
al Park Slope House Tour, to be celebrated on Sunday, May 17, 2009, in
Brooklyn, New York; and
WHEREAS, The Park Slope Civic Council nurtures, defends, celebrates
and invigorates the Brooklyn community; and
WHEREAS, The House Tour once helped save a deteriorating neighborhood,
and now it raises funds for grants for local schools, charities,
cultural institutions and other organizations that help make the Park
Slope area one of the nation's great places to live; and
WHEREAS, This year, to celebrate this important anniversary, homes in
all areas of Park Slope will be on view, with vans providing continuous
shuttle service to specific drop-off and pick-up destinations; and
WHEREAS, The event's special feature will be "The Architecture of Park
Slope," a narrated slide show by Francis Morrone, an architectural
historian, 28-year Park Slope resident, and long-time art and architec-
ture critic for the NEW YORK SUN; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those who
enhance the well-being and vitality of their community and have shown a
long and sustained commitment to excellence certainly have earned our
recognition and applause; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the Park Slope Civic Council upon the occasion of hosting its
50th Annual Park Slope House Tour; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the Park Slope Civic Council.
