Senate Resolution No. 977

BY: Senator TEDISCO

 COMMENDING the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Business
 and Professional Association upon the occasion of
 hosting its 24th Annual Flag Day Parade on June 12,
 2025

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body, in keeping with
its time-honored traditions, to recognize and pay tribute to those
organizations that embrace the historical significance and contributions
of their localities, strengthening the fabric of the communities of New
York State; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to commend the Burnt
Hills-Ballston Lake Business and Professional Association upon the
occasion of hosting its 24th Annual Flag Day Parade on Thursday, June
12, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, The first Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Business and
Professional Association Flag Day Parade was held in June of 2002 and
began as part of the patriotic feelings that swept the Nation following
the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001; and

 WHEREAS, The annual event quickly grew, becoming a very popular
celebration of Old Glory, as well as an opportunity to recognize local
groups and traditions, while bringing people together from the Town of
Ballston and the surrounding communities in northern Schenectady and
Saratoga Counties; and

 WHEREAS, Each year, before the parade, the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake
Business and Professional Association, in conjunction with Community
Human Services, presents the annual "Route 50 Mile," which is a one-mile
road race down the parade route, occurring five minutes before the
parade; and

 WHEREAS, Having more than 60 sponsors, the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake
Business and Professional Association Flag Day Parade has quickly become
one of the premier events of our outstanding school district and
citizenship that supports all residents, pulling the community together
for a night of fun and fireworks; and

 WHEREAS, The Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake community lies in a
suburban/rural area of southern Saratoga County and northern Schenectady
County and encompasses approximately 40 square miles, including most of
the town of Ballston, as well as parts of Charlton, Clifton Park, and
Glenville; and

 WHEREAS, The community is composed of modern single-family
residential developments in addition to numerous working farms, apple
orchards, forests, and open areas where commercial development is
limited, primarily to the main north-south thoroughfare which is New
York State Route 50; and

 WHEREAS, Over the years, the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Business and
Professional Association has been steadfast in its mission to encourage,

support, and promote business and the quality of life in the Ballston,
Charlton, Clifton Park, and Glenville areas, encompassed by the Burnt
Hills-Ballston Lake School District; and

 WHEREAS, Adhering to tradition, the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake
Business and Professional Association will provide scholarship awards in
technology, business, and family and consumer sciences (FACS); this
year's recipients will serve as Junior Grand Marshals; and

 WHEREAS, This year, the hierarchy, staff, and volunteers of CAPTAIN
Community Human Services have been selected as the 2025 Flag Day Parade
Grand Marshals for their steadfast commitment to support and empower
people of all ages to reach their goals of personal growth and
self-sufficiency; and

 WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commend cultural events which symbolize the historical, social, and
cultural development of this great State and embody the spirit of the
principles upon which this Nation was founded; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Business and Professional
Association upon the occasion of hosting its 24th Annual Flag Day Parade
on June 12, 2025; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution,
