  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the service of 
Martin Teller to the Finger Lakes Area Counseling and Recovery Agency 
and congratulate him on his retirement.
  For the last thirty-three years, Marty Teller has served as the 
Executive Director of Finger Lakes Area Counseling and Recovery Agency 
(FLACRA). His dedicated service and wealth of experience has ensured 
the highest of quality service, that FLACRA is known for, to people 
struggling with substance abuse. FLACRA offers a unique Continuum of 
Care for their clients, providing services such as addictions crisis 
counseling, outpatient services, community residences, supportive 
living, housing, and care management.
  In addition to his thirty-three years as the Executive Director of 
FLACRA, Marty had previously worked for fifteen years in chemical 
dependency agency management. His extensive experience in aiding those 
struggling with substance abuse has made him a leader on the issue in 
the community and statewide. Matty serves on the Boards of the New York 
Association of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Providers, Common Ground 
Health, and the Finger Lakes Performing Provider System. He has also 
served in leadership roles in the Finger Lakes Housing Consortium, the 
Region II Consortium of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, and 
Recovery Net.
  As Matty moves forward with the next chapter of his life, we applaud 
his tireless efforts to help those struggling with substance abuse in 
our communities and we wish him all the best in his retirement.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to celebrate Marty Teller and his 
extraordinary career.
