LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring the Day of Independence Committee of
Panamanians in New York, Inc. upon the occasion of its designation for
special recognition

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body, in keeping with its
time-honored traditions, to recognize and pay tribute to those organiza-
tions which foster ethnic pride and enhance the profile of cultural
diversity which strengthens the fabric of the communities of New York
State; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor the Day of
Independence Committee of Panamanians in New York, Inc. upon the occa-
sion of its designation for special recognition, to be celebrated on
Saturday, October 10, 2009, in Brooklyn, New York; and
WHEREAS, The Day of Independence Committee of Panamanians in New York,
Inc. (DICPNY) was formed in 1993 under the Presidency of Mauricio
Alleyne; it was founded with the objective of celebrating its national
holidays and culture with its community and giving honor to the long-
lasting ties forged by its forefathers during the building of the Panama
Railroad and later the Panama Canal; and
WHEREAS, DICPNY's first parade took place on November 3, 1995; the
ceremonies have served to galvanize the community and to allow local
organizations to participate in the large annual celebration of its
heritage; and
WHEREAS, These annual festivities inspired the DICPNY community to
form marching bands which now participate in parades all over the United
States and Canada; these public displays are celebrated with members of
the Panamanian community as well as officials that represent its commu-
nities in the United States; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when organiza-
tions 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; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor the Day of Independence Committee of Panamanians in New York, Inc.
upon the occasion of its designation for special recognition; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the Day of Independence Committee of Panamanians in New York,
Inc.
