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 who would devote themselves to the welfare of the
community and its citizenry; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor The
Legaz Team at Keller Williams Realty upon the occasion of their desig-
nation for special recognition by the Dwarf-Giraffe Athletic League, to
be celebrated at its President's Dinner at Russo's On the Bay in Howard
Beach, New York, on Saturday, March 3, 2012; and
WHEREAS, The Dwarf-Giraffe Athletic League is a non-profit, non-secta-
rian organization that began in 1955 with the goal of offering an intra-
mural baseball program for the youths of the Whitestone community; and
WHEREAS, The Dwarf-Giraffe Athletic League would not be able to serve
the youth of its community without its loyal sponsors, in particular,
the dedicated support of The Legaz Team at Keller Williams Realty; and
WHEREAS, The Legaz Team has served the Queens County area since 1993;
that year, Nancy Legaz began her Real Estate career after leaving corpo-
rate marketing; her diligence and perseverance made her a Top Producer
from the beginning of her career; and
WHEREAS, Prior to entering real estate, Dave Legaz attended Queensboro
Nursing School and the NYPD Police Academy; he had a very successful
career as a Police Officer and retired as a Sergeant; while working as a
Police Officer, he obtained his real estate license, and in 1994, began
to assist his wife, Nancy; and
WHEREAS, In 2000, Nancy and Dave Legaz left Diana Duarte Realty to
work at RE/MAX Universal and in 2007, became one of a group of owners
for the first Keller Williams franchise in New York City; and
WHEREAS, In 2007, the Legazes were consistently Top Producers for the
franchise; they grew The Legaz Team by adding several Buyer Specialists
to help with the growing demand for their services; and
WHEREAS, The Legaz Team has been amongst the top producing teams on
the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island over the past three years;
and
WHEREAS, During that time, The Legaz Team sold a home every 13 days
for 97% of its asking price and 28 days quicker than the industry aver-
age; and
WHEREAS, In addition to selling real estate, Dave Legaz has been
devoted to teaching the youth of Whitestone the fundamentals of sports
and fair play; in 2010 and 2011 he served as president of the Dwarf-Gi-
raffe Athletic League; and
WHEREAS, The Legaz Team of Keller Williams Realty has been a proud
donor to the Dwarf-Giraffe Athletic League every year since their son
David Jr, now away in college, joined at age 4; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when organiza-
tions of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our atten-
tion, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens of
this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor The Legaz Team at Keller Williams Realty upon the occasion of
their designation for special recognition by the Dwarf-Giraffe Athletic
League on March 3, 2012; and be it further
