LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Outgoing Chief Carl Schreiner upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition after many years of
dedicated service to the South Farmingdale Fire District
WHEREAS, The firefighters of New York State are renowned throughout the
Nation; their reputation is synonymous with excellence in the arduous
field of fire protection and prevention; and
WHEREAS, Since the early days of "teapot steamers," the volunteer
firefighter has been the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
Outgoing Chief Carl Schreiner upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after many years of dedicated service to the South
Farmingdale Fire District; this auspicious occasion will be celebrated
at the Fire District's Annual Installation Dinner, to be held on Satur-
day, February 12, 2011, at The North Ritz Club, 274 Jericho Turnpike,
Syosset, New York; and
WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters and fire departments not only provide
the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other activ-
ities of great benefit and importance to the communities they serve; and
WHEREAS, It takes a special dedication, a strong desire to help others
and a tireless sense of community to forsake precious time with family
and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in need; Outgo-
ing Chief Carl Schreiner is such a firefighter; throughout his many
years of devoted service, this volunteer heroically performed, above and
beyond the call of duty, those responsibilities which define the task of
fire protection; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Outgoing Chief Carl Schreiner upon the occasion of his desig-
nation for special recognition after many years of dedicated service to
the South Farmingdale Fire District; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Outgoing Chief Carl Schreiner.
