Bill > SR365

This resolution recognizes and commends Cohen's of Alma, a long-standing family-owned business in Georgia, on its 100th anniversary. The resolution traces the store's history from its founding by Nathan Cohen, a 13-year-old immigrant from Russia/Poland who started as a traveling peddler and purchased a general store in Alma in 1924. The business was later managed by his son Jerald, who expanded the store in 1967, and subsequently by Mark Cohen and his wife Laure. The resolution highlights the Cohen family's significant contributions to the Alma-Bacon County community, including their support of local events like proms and weddings, and their commitment to providing quality products. The Senate formally recognizes the Cohen family's century of dedication, commends their economic and community contributions, and wishes them continued success. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide an official copy of the resolution to Cohen's of Alma.
