LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Nancy Corwin Nammack upon the occasion
of being honored by Winthrop University Hospital in recognition and
appreciation of her more than 50 years of volunteer service to the
hospital

WHEREAS, Individuals who give of their time and energies and serve the
best interests of their communities are an asset beyond remuneration and
cannot be sufficiently extolled; and
WHEREAS, Nancy Corwin Nammack has given not only of her time and ener-
gies but also of her competence, intelligence and leadership and conse-
quently has been designated for special honor; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to commend Nancy Corwin
Nammack upon the occasion of being honored by Winthrop University Hospi-
tal in recognition and appreciation of her more than 50 years of volun-
teer service to the hospital; and
WHEREAS, She has been called upon to contribute her time and talents
to countless civic and charitable endeavors and has always given of
herself unstintingly; and
WHEREAS, Nancy Corwin Nammack has been a lifelong resident of Garden
City, New York; and
WHEREAS, Nancy Corwin Nammack, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Clinton
Corwin, a successful attorney and former Mayor of Garden City, believes
her commitment to community service was instilled in her by the example
of her parents; and
WHEREAS, She began volunteering at Winthrop, then called Nassau Hospi-
tal, in 1959, shortly after her own daughter, Nancy, was born; she
volunteered in the maternity ward for many years until she formally
joined the hospital Auxiliary in the early 1960s; and
WHEREAS, Nancy Corwin Nammack worked on the Yuletide Ball Committee,
among other things, and assisted Mildred Calder as Co-Chair of the
event, a major fundraiser for the hospital, and served as Chairwoman of
the Yuletide Ball in 1968 and 1969; and
WHEREAS, Nancy Corwin Nammack became President of the Auxiliary in
1973, at which point she also officially joined the Board of Directors
of the hospital; following her tenure as President of the Auxiliary from
1973-1975, she remained on the hospital's Board of Directors, where she
has served steadily until this year, 2013, when she officially retired,
making her the longest-serving member of the Winthrop Board of Direc-
tors; and
WHEREAS, Nancy Corwin Nammack's service may be the longest uninter-
rupted career of volunteer service to the hospital in its history and,
for this reason, she is fittingly receiving the first Winthrop Universi-
ty Hospital Lifetime Achievement Award on June 11, 2013 at the hospi-
tal's Annual Board of Directors Meeting; and
WHEREAS, Throughout the entire period of her community service, a
period of constructive involvement, Nancy Corwin Nammack has stood
constant in dignity, good grace and humor; and
WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the impressive dedication shown by an individ-
ual for the benefit of others which Nancy Corwin Nammack has displayed
throughout her life; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Nancy Corwin Nammack upon the occasion of being honored by
Winthrop University Hospital in recognition and appreciation of her more
than 50 years of volunteer service to the hospital; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Nancy Corwin Nammack.
