WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize and
pay tribute to those women of achievement within this great Empire State
who have made strong contributions to their communities and who inspire
others through their model citizenship; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
congratulate Kira L. Bryant upon the occasion of being inducted into the

Hempstead, in conjunction with the observance of Women's History Month;
and

WHEREAS, Since 1994, the Town of North Hempstead has honored women
who have made a contribution to their community, or have accomplished a
significant achievement through public or private efforts; Kira L.
Bryant is one such woman; and

WHEREAS, Kira L. Bryant is a school social worker for the Westbury

job; outside of her work schedule, year around, summers, evenings,
weekends, and whenever needed, parents, adults, and youth, call on her
for various personal concerns; she seems to always be counseling whether
at work or not; and

WHEREAS, Although Kira L. Bryant is a very quiet, seemingly low-key
person, she engages with her peers, her elders, politicians, and

always speaking out on behalf of the poor, the uneducated, the homeless,
children without parents or parents who are unavailable or unable to
speak on their behalf; and

WHEREAS, This extraordinary woman has been recognized by various
organizations for the outstanding work she has done, including: the
NAACP, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and The Nassau Suffolk Pan Hellenic
Council; and

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when
individuals of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our
attention, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens
of the State of New York; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Kira L. Bryant upon the occasion of being inducted into the
28th Annual May W. Newburger Women's Roll of Honor by the Town of North
