WHEREAS, It is incumbent upon the people of the State of New York to
recognize and acknowledge those within our midst who have made signif-
icant contributions to the quality of life therein; and
WHEREAS, A great community is only as great as those persons and
organizations that provide exemplary service, whether through partic-
ipation in voluntary programs, through unique personal achievement in
their profession or other endeavors, or simply through a lifetime of
good citizenship; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Ed
Moore, Sr. upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of the 2014
Henry Crandall Award by the Crandall Public Library, Glens Falls, New
York, to be celebrated at its Annual Fall Fundraiser, Gala Noir: A
Murderous Affair, hosted by Joe Donahue of WAMC's The Roundtable, on
Saturday, September 13, 2014, at the Great Escape Lodge, Queensbury, New
York; and
WHEREAS, The Henry Crandall Award recognizes one individual each year
who has demonstrated the values and legacy of Library founder Henry
Crandall (1821-1913), including generosity, perseverance, loyalty,
compassion, civic pride, and philanthropy; and

Outlet Centers, will receive this auspicious honor for his long-stand-
ing, consistent commitment to his community as well as his desire to
improve the lives of others; and

locally supports the Wait House, The Hyde Collection, Glens Falls Hospi-
tal, the YMCA, and Crandall Public Library, where he served on a plan-
ning committee during the early stages of the recent expansion and reno-
vation; and

ual for the benefit of others which Ed Moore, Sr. has displayed through-
out his life; and
