LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Junior
League of Long Island

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 commem-
orate the 50th Anniversary of the Junior League of Long Island; and
WHEREAS, The Junior League of Long Island (JLLI) is an organization of
women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of
women and to improving the community through the effective action and
leadership of trained volunteers; its purpose is exclusively educational
and charitable; and
WHEREAS, JLLI was formed in 1951 as a member of the Association of
Junior Leagues International Inc. (AJLI); since its founding, the organ-
ization has been at the forefront of identifying and fulfilling communi-
ty needs; and
WHEREAS, Originally formed as a local volunteer group, JLLI formally
joined AJLI in 1962 to provide its members with greater opportunities to
develop their potential and create effective change on Long Island and
beyond; and
WHEREAS, JLLI has been the driving force behind the kinds of initi-
atives and institutions that make its community a healthier, more vital
place to live; and
WHEREAS, Junior League members, reflecting a wide range of back-
grounds, interests, and professional pursuits work together to identify
unmet needs, forge effective coalitions, and work for change; on a
consistent basis, the organization is among the first to step up and
undertake a community's biggest challenges; 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
commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Junior League of Long Island;
and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the Junior League of Long Island.
