A great evening was enjoyed on December 3rd at
TRIP & RCHR’s Annual Homecoming Dinner to recognize the achievements of –
and thank -- two remarkable men.
The Honorable Ron Canestrari, who is retiring from the NYS Assembly,
received the TRIP & RCHR 2012
Community Citizenship Award. His decades
of leadership and support of the Capital Region, first as Mayor of Cohoes and
then as state assemblymember and Majority Leader, makes him so deserving of
this award. While we will miss him
in the Capitol, we wish him a wonderful and well-earned retirement!
Long-time Troy resident
Mike Esposito received TRIP’s “Troy Treasure” award for his many years of volunteering
as local historian for Troy and as an active leader of Little Italy’s events
and activities. He also is greatly
appreciated for being the most prolific author of TRIP’s “Troy Treasure”
columns published in The Record
bi-monthly. Mike is truly a Troy
treasure.
The evening’s Master
of Ceremonies was Green Island Mayor Ellen McNulty-Ryan, who demonstrated a
comedic ability that kept the audience laughing, even while she gently poked at
big brother and former congressman Mike McNulty, who introduced Ron
Canestrari. It was a great
evening made special by the two honorees and the many people who came out to
recognize them and to support TRIP & RCHR.
