LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commemorating the Fifth Annual Brooklyn Blogfest
on June 8, 2010

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 that are devoted to the welfare of the community
and its citizenry; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to commemorate the
Fifth Annual Brooklyn Blogfest; this auspicious occasion was celebrated
on Tuesday, June 8, 2010, at the Brooklyn Lyceum, 227 Fourth Avenue at
President Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York; and
WHEREAS, Since it was founded in 2005, the Brooklyn Blogfest has
established itself as the nexus of creativity, talent and insight among
the blogosphere's brightest lights; and
WHEREAS, The 2010 Brooklyn Blogfest featured a panel of blogging's
best dissecting its unique brand of flourishing entrepreneurial creati-
vity; there was also a video tribute to Brooklyn's most visionary photo
bloggers, special networking sessions for like-minded bloggers (i.e.
Blogs of a Feather) and the return of the ever-popular Shout-out, where
bloggers are invited to share their blogs with the world, and a roof-
raising after-party; and
WHEREAS, The Borough of Brooklyn has always been front and center in
the world of blogging; and
WHEREAS, The 2010 Brooklyn Blogfest took the pulse of a rapidly grow-
ing community of writers, thinkers and observers; it spotlighted this
year's most tenaciously keen tribe of bloggers as they gathered to cele-
brate all the reasons Brooklyn is such a potent source of runaway
creativity; and
WHEREAS, This occasion presents a unique opportunity for this Legisla-
tive Body to recognize and pay tribute to the Brooklyn Blogfest; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when an organ-
ization of such noble aims and accomplishments is brought to our atten-
tion, it should be recognized and applauded by all the citizens of this
great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the Fifth Annual Brooklyn Blogfest; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the Brooklyn Blogfest.
