gational Church of Manhasset Men's Club on December 11, 2014

WHEREAS, Religious institutions, and the many spiritual, social and
educational benefits they confer, play a vital role in the development
of the moral fabric of a responsible citizenry; and
WHEREAS, It is the tradition of this State and nation to pay tribute
to institutions and individuals who have contributed to the ethical and
spiritual values of their communities; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commem-
orate the 75th Anniversary of the Congregational Church of Manhasset
Men's Club, celebrated at a luncheon at the Swan Club, in Roslyn, New
York, on Thursday, December 11, 2014; and

Guest Speaker for this momentous occasion; he performed "A Christmas
Carol" by Charles Dickens, interpreting 15 different voices for differ-
ent characters; and
WHEREAS, The Congregational Church of Manhasset Men's Club is much
more than a social organization; members are committed to working
together with the entire congregation and the clergy to benefit the
community, their church, and their own lives; and
WHEREAS, The Congregational Church of Manhasset Men's Club stands on
the threshold of tomorrow, prepared to meet the challenges of the coming
decades while retaining that spiritual resolve which characterizes its
past; and
WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to take note of
enduring religious institutions and to bring such institutions to the
attention of the people of the Empire State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Congregational Church of Manhas-
set Men's Club on December 11, 2014, confident that this tribute
reflects its belief in those values which enhance the dignity and
purpose of life; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the Congregational Church of Manhasset Men's Club.
