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 organizations,
institutions and individuals who 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
David Jolly upon the occasion of his designation by Southwinds Retire-
ment Home as the recipient of its 2010 Citizen of the Year Award; and
WHEREAS, The award will be presented at Southwinds' Annual Dinner and
Casino Night to be held at Southwinds on Friday, April 30, 2010; and
WHEREAS, Southwinds Retirement Home, Inc., Middletown, New York has
been providing quality services for the senior citizens of the community
since its founding in 1884; in 1989, Southwinds acquired the former
Sheraton Inn at 70 Fulton Street and transformed the beautiful hotel
into a retirement community, also offering an Adult Day Program and
other services; and
WHEREAS, Southwinds provides a fun, activity-filled senior living
environment and justly prides itself on being a Special Place for
Special People and, each year, at its Annual Dinner and Casino Night,
honors those who have helped to make it so; and
WHEREAS, In recognition and appreciation of his enduring and outstand-
ing efforts on behalf of Southwinds Retirement Home and the community,
David Jolly, Commissioner of the Orange County Department of Social
Services, has been designated as the recipient of the Southwinds 2010
Citizen of the Year Award; and
WHEREAS, Individuals, such as David Jolly, 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, 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; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend David Jolly upon the occasion of his designation by Southwinds
Retirement Home as the recipient of its Citizen of the Year Award at its
Annual Dinner and Casino Night on April 30, 2010; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to David Jolly.
