president of the Albertson Fire Company
WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble volunteer firefighters who exhibit courage and
bravery every day in the course of their duties; and
WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters exemplify the power of human
compassion and the strength of the American spirit through actions of
the most heroic magnitude; their sacrifices and their selfless
dedication merit tribute and recognition by all citizens of this great
country; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor outgoing
President Jeannine Weiss upon the occasion of her designation for
special recognition after one year of dedicated service as president of
the Albertson Fire Department, to be celebrated on Saturday, April 11,
2026, at The Royalton in Roslyn Heights, New York; and
WHEREAS, Jeannine Weiss has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity, and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; and
WHEREAS, On April 1, 2011, Jeannine Weiss made the commitment to
serve Albertson, New York, and its surrounding communities; this brave
commitment has continued to grow stronger over the years; and
WHEREAS, Throughout her 15 year tenure at the Albertson Fire
Company, Jeannine Weiss has served in various capacities, including as
recording secretary, lieutenant of rescue, corresponding secretary,
captain of rescue, company secretary, and president; and
WHEREAS, From 2024 to 2025, Jeannine Weiss demonstrated her
admirable leadership skills and passionate commitment to service as she
led the Albertson Fire Company in the role of president; and
WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected volunteers are often the first to
respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation
accident, natural disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis, or spill
of hazardous materials; and
WHEREAS, It takes a special dedication, a strong desire to help
others and a tireless sense of community to forsake precious time with
family and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in need;
Jeannine Weiss is such a firefighter; throughout her 15 years of overall
