LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Rome
Home

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 commem-
orate the 100th anniversary of the Rome Home; and
WHEREAS, The Rome Home was established in 1909 to provide dignified
and serene surroundings for the elderly; after 100 years of being a
ladies only facility, the residence is now accepting male residents and
currently accommodates 19 adults ranging in age from 70-102; and
WHEREAS, Beginning in a rented house on Elm Street, the Rome Home
moved in 1916 to its present location at 417 North Washington Street;
and
WHEREAS, The Rome Home is an affordable alternative for those in the
community who are looking for an adult care living arrangement; daily
activities are provided and monthly parties are hosted by the staff and
the Board of Directors; 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
commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Rome Home; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Charlotte Alari, Board President, the Rome Home.
