SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 18
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join Texans across the state in celebrating February 27, 2013, as
United Way Day at the Texas Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Charitable giving and volunteerism provide
exceptional value to our state, and the United Way plays a vital
role in encouraging and promoting those important principles; and
WHEREAS, There are 88 local United Way organizations in
Texas, representing all areas of the state; these invaluable
groups work to fulfill the specific needs and achieve the
objectives of their respective communities while continuing to
meet the United Way's system-wide goals of improving access to
education, income, health, and 2-1-1 call center services; and
WHEREAS, Each year, United Way organizations collectively
mobilize thousands of volunteers, who draw upon the strength and
caring of their communities to improve lives; the charitable
contributions made to these organizations are reinvested in the
communities they serve; and
WHEREAS, United Way organizations have had a profound
influence on the lives of countless Texans, and it is truly
fitting that they be recognized for their many contributions to
the state; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby commend the staff, volunteers, and donors of
the United Way on their outstanding efforts to improve their
communities and extend to them best wishes for a memorable United
Way Day at the Texas Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared to
commemorate this special occasion.
