LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring Jean Cote upon the occasion of receiving
the Jack Deyo Award from the Ulster-Greene ARC at its 28th Annual Huma-
nitarian Awards Dinner on May 1, 2009

WHEREAS, It is the practice of this Legislative Body to take note of and
publicly acknowledge individuals of remarkable integrity and character
who have inspired and brought pride to our majestic Empire State with
their strong contributions to the community and model citizenship; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Jean
Cote upon the occasion of receiving the Jack Deyo Award from the
Ulster-Greene ARC at its 28th Annual Humanitarian Awards Dinner on May
1, 2009; and
WHEREAS, Individuals who give of their time and energies and serve the
best interests of their communities are an asset beyond remuneration and
cannot be sufficiently extolled; and
WHEREAS, Jean Cote has given not only of her time and energies but
also of her competence, intelligence and leadership and consequently has
been designated for this special honor; and
WHEREAS, The Jack Deyo Award for outstanding advocacy is given each
year to recognize and honor the dedication and commitment of a Guardian
Representative who, on an entirely voluntary basis, acts as a friend,
family and advocate for those people the Ulster-Green ARC serves that do
not have a family of their own; and
WHEREAS, Since 2003, Jean Cote has been a volunteer and representative
for the Greene sisters, Joan and Virginia, and the girls have become a
part of her family and enjoy going to restaurants and on boat trips; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when individ-
uals of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our atten-
tion, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens of
the great State of New York; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is pleased to have this opportunity to
express its highest admiration for Jean Cote and to wish her continued
success in all of her future endeavors; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Jean Cote upon the occasion of receiving the Jack Deyo Award from
the Ulster-Greene ARC at its 28th Annual Humanitarian Awards Dinner on
May 1, 2009; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Jean Cote.
