R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Kids Who Care, a nonprofit international theater
company, is performing at the State Capitol on March 16, 2011; and
WHEREAS, Based in Fort Worth, this notable organization has
been dedicated to changing the world one child at a time since its
founding more than two decades ago; and

WHEREAS, Kids Who Care is sponsored in part by a grant from
the Texas Commission on the Arts; the group's latest offering,

profound impact that teachers and schools have on our children and
reminds us that, together, we can build the education system our
children need; and
WHEREAS, By promoting an awareness of creative gifts and
fostering an appreciation of the arts, Kids Who Care is enriching
the communities it serves even as it opens up new vistas of
possibility and opportunity for young Texans; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby honor Kids Who Care and extend to all those
associated with the group sincere best wishes for continued
success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
