SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 204
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Alcon Foundation, the Essilor Vision Foundation,
and the Kids Vision for Life-Tarrant County Coalition for hosting
Kids Vision Fest 2013 on February 1; and
WHEREAS, Through this event, these organizations provide
visual examinations and glasses that are most often an
unaffordable luxury for families struggling to meet basic needs
and expenses; and
WHEREAS, At the event, children ages five through 12 who
qualify under the 2012 federal poverty guidelines receive vision
screenings and glasses at no cost; the festival includes games
and giveaways and a roundtable discussion regarding children's
vision care and its importance for educational success; and
WHEREAS, By hosting the festival, these organizations
perform a vital community service that enables underprivileged
children who need vision correction to succeed in school, where
they might otherwise have faced extreme difficulties; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
83rd Legislature, hereby commend the Alcon Foundation, the
Essilor Vision Foundation, and the Kids Vision for Life-Tarrant
County Coalition for generously hosting Kids Vision Fest 2013 on
behalf of the children of Tarrant County; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
these organizations as an expression of esteem from the
Texas Senate.
