  H.R. No. 1903
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, The opening of GiGi's Playhouse El Paso on April 19,
  2015, provides a fitting opportunity to recognize this outstanding
  organization and its successful partnership with the Junior League
  of El Paso, Inc.; and
         WHEREAS, GiGi's Playhouse is an international organization
  that was founded in 2003 in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, by Nancy
  Gianni after her daughter, GiGi, was born with Down syndrome;
  GiGi's Playhouse offers free educational and therapeutic programs
  to children and adults of all ages who have been diagnosed with Down
  syndrome; its curriculum, which was designed by teachers and
  clinicians, focuses on advancing literacy, math, motor, and social
  skills as well as on building self-esteem; the centers also provide
  important opportunities for family networking and support; last
  year, GiGi's Playhouse served more than 25,000 participants in 22
  cities in the United States and Mexico; and
         WHEREAS, The first location in the Lone Star State, GiGi's
  Playhouse El Paso was founded by Maggie Moody, who wanted to honor
  her daughter, Melissa, an adult with Down syndrome, and to bring the
  organization's invaluable services to area families affected by
  Down syndrome; the Junior League of El Paso, Inc., adopted the
  project for 2014-2015, committing both financial assistance and
  volunteer hours to the development of the center; league members
  visited the original Playhouse in Illinois and met with the
  organization's founder and local participants; in anticipation of
  the center's opening, a highly successful gala was held in El Paso
  on March 20, 2015, with special guest speaker Lauren Potter from the
  television show Glee; the actress, who has Down syndrome herself,
  also appeared at a meet-and-greet breakfast at Scotsdale Elementary
  School during World Down Syndrome Day; and
         WHEREAS, By empowering individuals with Down syndrome and by
  raising awareness in the community about how much those with Down
  syndrome can achieve, GiGi's Playhouse is making a positive
  difference in countless lives, and members of the Junior League of
  El Paso, Inc., can take great pride in the role they have played in
  making this important resource available to area Texans; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby welcome GiGi's Playhouse to the Lone Star State
  and commend Nancy Gianni, Maggie Moody, and the Junior League of El
  Paso, Inc., for their support in bringing this project to fruition.
