WHEREAS, The quality and character of life in the Empire State are
greatly enriched by the faithful and generous service of those who
devote themselves to endeavors of family, faith and community; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commend individuals of such magnanimous conduct and bearing who demon-
strate a deep and continuing concern for others, and in so doing,
inspire others to do the same; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern and fully in accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
Anita and Louis Hoine upon the occasion of their designation for special
recognition by Temple Avodah of Oceanside as Honorees of its Twilight
Journal Dinner Dance on June 5, 2011; and
WHEREAS, A commentary on proverbs hangs in the Hoine's home which
reads: "How does one change the world? By doing good deeds."; Anita and
Louis Hoine have been doing just that for the Oceanside community for
more than 30 years; and
WHEREAS, Most often behind the scenes, Louie Hoine, lovingly known as
"Latke Louie," dons his chef's hat and cooks latkes at Temple Avodah's
Hanukah Party; he has, in addition, served the Temple Men's Club in
various capacities, particularly when food is on the agenda; and
WHEREAS, One of the most sought after raffle prizes at the annual
Temple Avodah Auction is a sumptuous, gourmet dinner prepared and
elegantly served by Louie, and company and, always sensitive to the
needs of the Temple, he generously donated a Telephone Tree system to
improve communication with congregants; and
WHEREAS, Volunteerism was a fundamental part of life in Anital Hoine's
family; she grew up in Brooklyn watching and learning from her beloved
mother, who devoted herself to others through her philanthropic deeds of
loving kindness; and
WHEREAS, One of the most dynamic and involved members of Temple
Avodah, Anita Hoine is currently serving as President of the synagogue;
she held the Office of Sisterhood President for an unprecedented six
years, founded the congregation's Parent Teacher Organization, Caring
Committee, and Couples Club, and was involved in the formation of
Central Hebrew High School; and
WHEREAS, She has served, as well, on the Temple's Board of Trustees
and Executive Board in countless capacities; she has been the Chair-
person of the Bar and Bat Mitzvah Committee and can often be found at
Temple tirelessly devoting herself to the needs of the synagogue; and
WHEREAS, Anita Hoine's compassion, hard work and numerous charitable
contributions have earned her the gratitude of all the hearts she has
touched; though the recipient of the United Jewish Appeal's Woman of the
Year Award and the Oceanside Jewish Center's Woman of Valor Award, she
maintains her unassuming manner, living up to her mother's principles
with great success; and
WHEREAS, Anita Hoine has worked at Oceanside Jewish Center for more
than 25 years; she began as a teacher and is currently its Nursery
School Director; Louis Hoine has worked in commercial real estate for
the last 40 years and enjoys buying and selling coins in his free time;
and

dren, Mara and Matthew, both of whom are proud to be part of their lives
and rejoice in their many accomplishments; and

ers of Temple Avodah of Oceanside and their community as well as gener-
ous supporters of many worthy programs and causes at the synagogue and
in the community; and

dation to Anita and Louis Hoine for their dedication and commitment to
their community and their heritage; now, therefore, be it
