Office/Customer Service; she holds the position of Accounts

 WHEREAS, While she is not working, providing exceptional service to
the patrons of Chanatry's Hometown Market, Mary Ellen Karrat enjoys
spending time with her husband, Richard, and her son, Richard; walking
and traveling are two of her favorite activities; and

 WHEREAS, Mary Ellen Karrat offers 50 years of experience, serving
her customers and providing loyalty and dependable longevity while
employed by Chanatry's Hometown Market, Mohawk Valley's award-winning

 WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the impressive dedication shown by an
individual for the benefit of others which Mary Ellen Karrat has
displayed throughout her life; now, therefore, be it
