|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |

join Texans across the state in celebrating February 27, 2013, as |
|
|
United Way Day at the Texas Capitol; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Charitable giving and volunteerism provide |

|
exceptional value to our state, and the United Way plays a vital |
|
|
role in encouraging and promoting those important principles; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, There are 88 local United Way organizations in |
|
|
Texas, representing all areas of the state; these invaluable |
|
|
groups work to fulfill the specific needs and achieve the |
|
|
objectives of their respective communities while continuing to |
|

meet the United Way's system-wide goals of improving access to |
|
|
education, income, health, and 2-1-1 call center services; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Each year, United Way organizations collectively |
|
|
mobilize thousands of volunteers, who draw upon the strength and |
|
|
caring of their communities to improve lives; the charitable |
|
|
contributions made to these organizations are reinvested in the |
|
|
communities they serve; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, United Way organizations have had a profound |
|
|
influence on the lives of countless Texans, and it is truly |
|
|
fitting that they be recognized for their many contributions to |
|
|
the state; now, therefore, be it |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the staff, volunteers, and donors of |
|
|
the United Way on their outstanding efforts to improve their |
|
|
communities and extend to them best wishes for a memorable United |
|
|
Way Day at the Texas Capitol; and, be it further |
| |
