HONORING MARY ANN TRICKEY UPON HER RETIREMENT AS TOWN OF HOPEWELL TOWN 
                                 CLERK

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM REED

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 18, 2019

  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the retirement of 
Mary Ann Trickey as the Town Clerk of the Town of Hopewell after 
twenty-six years of service.
  Many have said that Mary Ann is the glue that keeps the Town of 
Hopewell in working order. In her thirteen terms as town clerk and tax 
collector, she has dedicated her time, talents and passion to making 
sure each resident is provided the services they need and that town 
administrative services are functioning with impressive precision.
  Mary Ann has built up a rapport with residents over the years, 
getting to know them, their families and even their pets throughout her 
interactions with them. She regularly attends important events, both 
public and governmental, in Hopewell as a pillar of the community.
  In 2017, Mary Ann was chosen as ``The Town Clerk of the Year'' for 
district seven, which covers Wayne, Ontario, Seneca, Cayuga, Yates and 
Steuben counties. She is also a member of the Hopewell Historical 
Society, the Hopewell Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary and has been an 
honorary Rotary International member for many years. Mary Ann is a 
member and past president of the Ontario County Municipal Clerks 
Association and the Ontario County Tax Collectors Association.
  The Town of Hopewell will greatly miss Mary Ann and her cheerful 
demeanor, her dedication and her extraordinary kindness--but her 
retirement is well deserved. I thank Mary Ann for all of her efforts--
they have blessed a great many people in and around Hopewell.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to recognize Mary Ann Trickey and her twenty-
six years of invaluable service to the Town of Hopewell as Town Clerk.
