the increasingly active roles they play in today's society; their past
contributions and future participation are a vital part of, and valuable
asset to, the fabric of community life and activity; and

and
WHEREAS, Lake George resident Lucy Abrahams was born in Schenectady,
New York, and graduated from St. Columba's High School; after marrying
