Bill > J01039

This resolution commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club, a youth organization located in Locust Valley, New York, which will be celebrated on May 30, 2025. The resolution traces the organization's history from its origins in the mid-20th century as the Associated Boys Club of Locust Valley, highlighting key milestones such as receiving a land donation from Mrs. George F. Baker, Jr., who funded the original clubhouse in memory of her son Grenville Baker, a Harvard graduate and Air Force Captain who passed away in 1949. The resolution emphasizes the club's evolution from a boys-only football-focused organization to a comprehensive youth development center serving over 500 young people annually, offering programs in education, career development, sports, arts, leadership, and life skills. The legislative body recognizes the club's enduring mission to inspire and enable young people to become productive, responsible, and caring citizens, and officially pauses its deliberations to honor the organization's 75 years of community service. The resolution concludes by directing that a copy of the document be transmitted to the Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club.
