LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Director Jack Rader for 50 years of
distinguished volunteer service to the Greenwood Lake Volunteer Ambu-
lance Corps

WHEREAS, Volunteer ambulance corps members are an important part of the
safety net of America's healthcare system; they provide lifesaving care
to those in need, 24 hours a day, seven days a week; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those who give
outstanding service to the people of the Empire State and whose extraor-
dinary achievements save the lives of their fellow citizens should be
recognized because their efforts so profoundly strengthen our shared
commitment to family and community life; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
Director Jack Rader for 50 years of distinguished volunteer service to
the Greenwood Lake Volunteer Ambulance Corps, to be celebrated on Satur-
day, September 19, 2009; and
WHEREAS, Averaging over 500 calls a year, Greenwood Lake Ambulance is
a New York State Certified Ambulance Corps, supporting a 40 square mile
district which includes the Village of Greenwood Lake, the Town of
Warwick from Mount Peter to Tuxedo Mountain, and to the Chester Town
line, from the East and West shore lines to the State border, and from
the Appalachian Trail to the Lake itself; and
WHEREAS, On many occasions, Jack Rader has acted with bravery and
steady precision in dealing with the risk and drama of emergency situ-
ations; qualified in CPR, he began his volunteer career with the Green-
wood Lake Ambulance Corps in 1959; and
WHEREAS, A true asset to society, Jack Rader's distinguished record
merits the recognition and respectful tribute of this Legislative Body;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Director Jack Rader for 50 years of distinguished volunteer
service to the Greenwood Lake Volunteer Ambulance Corps; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Jack Rader, Director, Greenwood Lake Volunteer Ambulance
Corps.
