WHEREAS, Jackie Hall of Plano retired as executive director
of the Assistance Center of Collin County on August 31, 2010, after
more than 26 years of service, and it is indeed fitting to reflect
on her many contributions to the organization and the communities
it serves; and

individuals, Ms. Hall propelled ACCC into a leadership position in
the Metroplex; among her accomplishments are the development and
publication of Collin County Cares, a directory of social services
available in the area that is used by agencies, corporations,
medical facilities, and governments to provide referrals;
moreover, she oversaw the center's role in providing screening and
administrative assistance for such programs as Annual School
Supplies for Plano ISD, the Shoe Ministry, and Plano Santas; and
WHEREAS, Plano mayor Phil Dyer proclaimed August 27, 2010, as
Jackie Hall Day in honor of her initiative and skill in handling a
range of crisis situations for residents throughout the county; and
WHEREAS, Jackie Hall distinguished herself with her passion,
hard work, and commitment to serving the greater good, and her
outstanding efforts will continue to have a positive effect in the
community for years to come; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Jackie Hall on her retirement from
the Assistance Center of Collin County and extend to her sincere
best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further
