WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official days that are set aside to increase awareness of initiatives
which affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 4, 2022, as Grammar

awareness of initiatives which affect the lives of citizens of New York
State; now, therefore, be it
