Marianne's West Side Kitchen to be celebrated March 8, 2013

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize that the
quality and character of life in the communities across New York State
are reflective of the concerned and dedicated efforts of those organiza-
tions and individuals who would devote themselves to the welfare of the
community and its citizenry; 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 5th Anniversary of Mother Marianne's West Side Kitchen to be
celebrated March 8, 2013; and
WHEREAS, The Mother Marianne's West Side Kitchen is located in St.
Joseph - St. Patrick Parish Center in Utica, New York; this invaluable

sister who grew up in West Utica and devoted the last 30 years of her
life to the lepers of Hawaii's Molokai; and
WHEREAS, Mother Marianne's West Side Kitchen is an all volunteer oper-
ation serving hot lunches, including soup and a sandwich; and

benevolent project officially opened its doors in March of 2008, and
continues to serve the community under the direction and guidance of
Kitchen Supervisor, Vicki Montalbano as well as more than 100 devoted
volunteers; and
WHEREAS, Today, the Mother Marianne's West Side Kitchen meets the
needs of the working poor, the unemployed and the homeless within the
Utica community, reflecting the spiritual values of mercy and charity
which characterize Saint Marianne Cope's life's work; and
WHEREAS, It is the practice of this Legislative Body that those who
enhance the well-being and vitality of their community and have shown a
long and sustained commitment to excellence certainly have earned the
recognition and applause of all the citizens of this great Empire State;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 5th Anniversary of Mother Marianne's West Side Kitchen,
and to wish the organization continued success in its future endeavors;
