Whereas, a Great State is only as great as those persons who give exemplary service to their community, and Margaret Freed, who overcame insurmountable hardships during the Holocaust has served her community well as a dedicated member of the Boro Park Senior Center for over twenty-five years, and

Whereas, Margaret Freed has reached the zenith of love and devotion by all those who know and admire her; and
