A RESOLUTION to honor and congratulate David Moomy on his receipt of the Governor's Volunteer Stars Award.
HR0038 acts as an important motivational tool, highlighting the vital role volunteers play in society. It reinforces the notion that volunteerism is a cornerstone of Tennessee's community fabric and promotes a culture of giving. By honoring individuals like David Moomy, this resolution seeks to inspire others to participate in community service, thereby further fostering volunteer engagement across the state.
House Resolution 0038 (HR0038) is a formal legislative acknowledgment celebrating David Moomy for receiving the Governor's Volunteer Stars Award. The resolution recognizes the significant contributions made by volunteers in Tennessee, emphasizing the importance of community service. Each year, a remarkable number of volunteers, totaling approximately 1.3 million, contribute more than 99 million hours of service, substantially impacting the state's economy by generating $2.6 billion in economic value.
While the resolution itself does not contain significant points of contention, it reflects on broader themes of recognition and appreciation for non-paid contributors to society. Although not contentious, it underscores the consistent challenges faced by volunteers, such as lack of acknowledgment and support. The emphasis on community service in HR0038 resonates with calls for increased support and infrastructure for volunteer initiatives, which can sometimes lead to discussions about government roles in facilitating such efforts.
