Senate Resolution No. 340

BY: Senator MARTINS

 HONORING Susan Isaacs and Elkan Abramowitz upon
 the occasion of their designation for special
 recognition by HEARTS Port Washington on February 7,
 2025

 WHEREAS, Individuals who give of their time and energies and serve
the best interests of their communities are assets beyond remuneration
and cannot be sufficiently extolled; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Susan Isaacs
and Elkan Abramowitz, upon the occasion of their designation for special
recognition by HEARTS Port Washington, to be recognized at its Annual
Red Party at the Polish American Hall in Port Washington, New York, on
Friday, February 7, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, HEARTS (Helping Enrich the Arts of Port Washington) is an
independent, grassroots not-for-profit 501(c)3 community organization
whose mission is to add meaningful value to children's lives and our
community by supporting, promoting, and enriching the arts in Port
Washington and its public schools; and

 WHEREAS, Since its founding in 2011, HEARTS has funded more than 180
grants district-wide, as well as scholarships for art and music students
for college; the non-profit also provides interactive high-quality
programming in theater, music, fine arts, creative writing, dance, and
much more; and

 WHEREAS, HEARTS has created PortFest, a community art and music
festival celebrating arts in Port Washington, as well as Curtains Up, an
after-school musical theater program for elementary school students; and

 WHEREAS, The organization also created Dancing Classrooms, which is
a partnership with the Creative Arts Department, HSA/PTAs, The Ed.
Foundation, and the Port Washington Summer Music Program; and

 WHEREAS, Since they settled in Port Washington in 1971, Susan Isaacs
and Elkan Abramowitz have prioritized involvement with the community,
and the arts have been an important focus of these efforts; and

 WHEREAS, Susan Isaacs is the best-selling author of fifteen novels,
including "Compromising Positions," "Almost Paradise," and "Bad, Bad
Seymour Brown"; she has written two screenplays as well as a nonfiction
work; as an active member of the literary community, she serves roles
with many organizations, including Poets & Writers and Mystery Writers
of America; and

 WHEREAS, Elkan Abramowitz is a leading white-collar criminal defense
lawyer who is experienced with civil and criminal matters in state and
federal courts for individual and corporate clients; among the many
roles he has assumed through the years, perhaps less known is his Screen
Actor Guild membership for cameo appearances in Susan Isaacs' movies;
and

 WHEREAS, More locally, Susan Isaacs and Elkan Abramowitz are
enthusiastic supporters of the Port Washington Public Library, Landmark
on Main Street, and of course, HEARTS; they are delighted that their
children, Andy Abramowitz and Elizabeth Picciuto, and their families
have become part of the Port Washington community as well; and

 WHEREAS, Throughout the decades of their community service, a period
of constructive involvement, Susan Isaacs and Elkan Abramowitz have
stood constant in dignity and good grace; and

 WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the impressive dedication shown by
individuals for the benefit of others which Susan Isaacs and Elkan
Abramowitz have displayed throughout their lives; and

 WHEREAS, It has always been the objective of this Legislative Body
to honor and support those individuals who have displayed their
commitment to the betterment of their communities, and it is the intent
of this Legislative Body to inscribe upon its records this tribute to
Susan Isaacs and Elkan Abramowitz, that future generations may know and
appreciate their admirable character, their many benevolent deeds, and
the respect and esteem in which they are held by their peers; now,
therefore, be it
