 WHEREAS, A resident of Seaford, New York, Katie Padavan is a member
of Girl Scouts of the United States of America; and

 WHEREAS, America has achieved its greatest heights of glory through
the dedication, determination, and tireless efforts of the outstanding
citizens of this Nation; and

girls to change the world; and

 WHEREAS, In order to earn the Gold Award, a girl must complete a
rigorous set of service, leadership development, and skill-building
tasks leading up to the final and most challenging requirement, the

solutions, and educate and inspire others; and

Kit"; and

 WHEREAS, This outstanding young woman has been involved in Scouting

State, and her Nation, and her future will undoubtedly be filled with
accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations, in
recognition of the significance of this meritorious achievement, to
congratulate and honor Katie Padavan upon the occasion of earning the
