LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Brigh-
ton Volunteer Ambulance Corps

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and pay
tribute to those organizations within the State of New York which
provide vital emergency medical rescue services; and
WHEREAS, The men and women who provide emergency medical care are
essential to the safety and well-being of any community, and therefore
greatly deserving of recognition and praise; 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 25th Anniversary of the Brighton Volunteer Ambulance Corps;
and
WHEREAS, Brighton Volunteer Ambulance is an agency celebrating its
25th year and whose mission is to provide critical, often life-saving
aid to those in crisis; and
WHEREAS, Answering more than 5,000 calls annually, the 100 members of
Brighton Volunteer Ambulance, through significant personal sacrifice and
risk, have responded to emergencies large and small, from highway acci-
dents to the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001; and
WHEREAS, Each year, Brighton Volunteer Ambulance's five ambulance and
two advanced support vehicles log more than 60,000 miles; and
WHEREAS, In addition to its response services, Brighton Volunteer
Ambulance also offers preventative health screenings and classes in
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and is often at hand for special events
such as charity walks and races where emergency health care may be
required; and
WHEREAS, For this exemplary work and dedication, the crews and support
staff of Brighton Volunteer Ambulance have justly earned the gratitude
and support of the community it has so faithfully served for a quarter-
century; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Brighton Volunteer Ambulance
Corps; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the Brighton Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
