BY: Senator GRIFFO

 HONORING Joe Ferlo upon the occasion of his
 induction into the Rome Arts Hall of Fame on May 4,
 2025

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to honor and pay
tribute to those individuals whose commitment to promoting the richness
and diversity of the performing, visual, and literary arts, has
contributed to the strength, vitality, and cultural enrichment of their
communities and the great State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Joe Ferlo upon the occasion of his induction into the Rome Arts Hall of
Fame on Sunday, May 4, 2025, at the Capitol Theatre in Rome, New York;
and

 WHEREAS, Established in 2005, The Rome Arts Hall of Fame aligns with
their mission to honor individuals who have a strong connection to the
Rome community and a significant involvement in the performing, visual,
or literary arts; and

 WHEREAS, Joe Ferlo is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in
Boston, Massachusetts, and a prominent voice in the jazz, blues, and
classical guitar scene; and

 WHEREAS, Beginning to play guitar at the young age of 10, Joe Ferlo
is now associated with several music groups throughout the Rome area;
and

 WHEREAS, This honorable inductee, Joe Ferlo, is also an admired
adjunct professor at Colgate University where he proudly teaches jazz
guitar; and

 WHEREAS, New Yorkers who are devoted to the preservation and
furtherance of the arts while resultantly strengthening the cultural
fabric of this great State are deserving of the highest praise and
recognition; Joe Ferlo is one such individual; and

 WHEREAS, The arts are the building blocks of civilization, are
central to human expression, and inspire the imagination; educational
institutions, individuals, and organizations which further such worthy
purposes richly merit the recognition and appreciation of this
Legislative Body and the people of the State of New York; now,
therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Joe Ferlo upon the occasion of his induction into the Rome Arts
