WHEREAS, Members of the American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees Corrections Council 7 in Huntsville have
distinguished themselves through their generous assistance to
correctional officers affected by Hurricane Ike; and
WHEREAS, In the aftermath of the hurricane, union members
began coordinating efforts to help correctional officers located in

variety of essential goods, including food, ice, water, and hygiene
kits, and distributed them to officers in Beaumont, Dayton, Texas
City, and Angleton; and
WHEREAS, The contributions of these caring public servants
remind us that many individuals working together for a noble
purpose define the best sense of community and that the strength of
a society can be judged by its response to those in need; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commend the members of the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal Employees Corrections Council 7 for
their Hurricane Ike relief efforts and recognize them for their
commitment to their fellow officers; and, be it further
