Hempstead Plains at Nassau Community College

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and pay
tribute to those organizations which are committed to enhancing the
quality of education in the State of New York, and which enable our
schools to offer excellent educational programs in the most efficient
manner; 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 10th Anniversary of Friends of Hempstead Plains at Nassau
Community College at its Sixth Annual Prairie Benefit; this auspicious
occasion will be celebrated with a Cocktail Party and Reception at the
Hofstra University Club David S. Mack Hall on Friday, April 29, 2011;
and
WHEREAS, Friends of Hempstead Plains at Nassau Community College is a
not-for-profit organization dedicated to both the preservation and
restoration of the Hempstead Plains and to offering educational programs
about this special and rapidly vanishing ecological and historical habi-
tat; and
WHEREAS, The seeds have been sown for the Hempstead Plains Educational
Center to be erected on the plains for future generations; the Center is
a green sustainable building and landscape design that complements and
enhances the historic 19 acre prairie remnant at Nassau Community
College; and
WHEREAS, By showcasing Hempstead Plains flora and fauna, the Educa-
tional Center will serve as a valuable resource for students, research-
ers, and the community; and
WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body that those organ-
izations which 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
commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Friends of Hempstead Plains at
Nassau Community College; and be it further
