WHEREAS, tomorrow, the Krewe of Beverwyck will be a towering example for party people everywhere of the price that must be paid for overindulgence; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to the next Monarchs when they are presented later this evening.
