LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Bloom-
ing Grove Volunteer Ambulance Corps
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those who give
outstanding service to the people of the Empire State and whose extraor-
dinary achievements save the lives of their fellow citizens should be
recognized because their efforts so profoundly strengthen our shared
commitment to family and community life; 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 50th Anniversary of the Blooming Grove Volunteer Ambulance
Corps, to be celebrated at its Annual Installation Dinner on Friday,
April 3, 2009; and
WHEREAS, The Blooming Grove Volunteer Ambulance Corps was initiated by
men from the Washingtonville, New York, Lions Club, and they subsequent-
ly advertised for volunteers from Blooming Grove; and
WHEREAS, Proudly serving the Town of Blooming Grove and the Village of
Washingtonville since 1959, the Blooming Grove Volunteer Ambulance Corps
has been tirelessly coming to the aid, as well as providing first aid
training classes for all residents; 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, This Legislative Body cannot express sufficient gratitude to
those devoted individuals who recognize that the preservation of life is
a sacred responsibility and who make that responsibility their own by
serving as volunteers within their community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Blooming Grove Volunteer Ambu-
lance Corps; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the Blooming Grove Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
