designation for special recognition by the New York
State Office for the Aging on May 21, 2019

WHEREAS, Senior citizens bring a wealth of experience and knowledge
to 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

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Robyn Martin
upon the occasion of her designation for special recognition by the New
York State Office for the Aging at its Annual Older New Yorkers' Day
Celebration on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, at the Hart Theatre Lounge in The
Egg, Albany, New York; and

WHEREAS, Each May, the New York State Office for the Aging pauses to
acknowledge the outstanding contributions made by older citizens during
National Older Americans Month; and

WHEREAS, Members of older generations have helped build and shape
our Nation to be the greatest in the world; they have defended our
freedoms and values to ensure that those who come after them may have
better lives; nowhere in the Nation is the legacy of their efforts more
visible and more a part of the lives of all citizens than here in the
State of New York; and

WHEREAS, With a steadfast and unwavering commitment to her community
of Malone, New York in Franklin County, Robyn Martin volunteered more
than 190 hours of her time to Hospice of the North County in 2018; and

WHEREAS, Robyn Martin has continued to share her skills in finance,
and has been instrumental in donor management and fundraising; and

WHEREAS, In addition, she is frequently found volunteering at her
church, and helping to distribute food at the local food pantry; and

WHEREAS, Robyn Martin truly has a heart of gold, and is always
willing to lend a helping hand, regardless of the task asked of her; and

WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the impressive dedication shown by an
individual for the benefit of others which Robyn Martin has displayed
throughout her life; and

WHEREAS, Robyn Martin, a very active and industrious woman, has
inspired and enriched the lives of those she serves through her
volunteerism, generously sharing the wisdom gained over years of
experiencing life to its fullest; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Robyn Martin upon the occasion of her designation for special
recognition by the New York State Office for the Aging on May 21, 2019;
and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Robyn Martin.
