an uncompromising standard of excellence in all endeavors on  behalf  of
the organization and the community it serves; and

individuals and organizations of such noble aims and accomplishments are
brought to our attention, they should be celebrated  and  recognized  by
all the citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
