Family and Education Support, Early Childhood Education, Employment and
Financial Education, Healthy Homes, and Health and Wellness; and

WHEREAS, CAP COM Federal Credit Union is receiving this auspicious
award in recognition of its steadfast dedication to supporting the work
of various non-profit organizations, devoting time and talent through
corporation volunteerism to make its community a better place, and
advocating and creating unique experiences for those less fortunate,
particularly children and families living in poverty; and

WHEREAS, The success of CAP COM Federal Credit Union is in direct
correlation to the efforts of its administration and staff, whose
involvement is, and always has been, characterized by an impressive
commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm, and an uncompromising standard of
excellence in all endeavors on behalf of this vital institution and the
community it serves; and

institutions of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our
attention, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens
of the great State of New York; now, therefore, be it
