LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring Michael Yannazzone upon the occasion of
his designation as recipient of the Patriotic Employer of the Year Award
from the Orangetown Highway Department

WHEREAS, It is incumbent upon the people of the State of New York to
recognize and acknowledge those within our midst who have made signif-
icant contributions to the quality of life therein; and
WHEREAS, A great community is only as great as those persons and
organizations that provide exemplary service, whether through partic-
ipation in voluntary programs, through unique personal achievement in
their profession or other endeavors, or simply through a lifetime of
good citizenry; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Michael Yannazzone upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of
the Patriotic Employer of the Year Award from the Orangetown Highway
Department at its annual awards ceremony at a Town Board meeting held at
the Town Hall in Orangeburg, New York; and
WHEREAS, Michael Yannazzone was also the recipient of a second award
for achieving the prestigious Road Maser I certificate from the state
highway training school, as well as a third award for having another
year of perfect attendance at work, without a single missed day; and
WHEREAS, In a separate award ceremony, Sergeant Butler, who also
serves in the New York Army National Guard, besides being a highwayman,
gave his unit's appreciation certificate to Michael Yannazzone for
allowing him to work a varied flexible schedule so he could participate
in unit drills and other activities while still working for the Orange-
town Highway Department; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those who
enhance the well-being and vitality of their community and have shown a
long and sustained commitment to excellence certainly have earned the
recognition and applause of all the citizens of this great Empire State;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Michael Yannazzone upon the occasion of his designation as recipi-
ent of the Patriotic Employer of the Year Award from the Orangetown
Highway Department; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Michael Yannazzone.
