H.R. No. 1006
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Six participants in the Serve Sugar Land program,
Albon Wu, Laaiqa Muhammad, Unna Ramanathan, Gabriel Rodriguez,
Brenda Frye, and Ted Lieb, have been named 2020 Volunteers of the
Year; and
WHEREAS, Every year, Sugar Land city departments select
exceptional volunteers who help foster an atmosphere of community
and who enhance the delivery of city services through their
efforts; each award recipient works with the Serve Sugar Land
program, an initiative that provides residents with opportunities
to become involved in municipal government while giving back to the
community; and
WHEREAS, This year's recognized volunteers collectively
contributed more than 800 hours of service to the city in 2020, for
the equivalent of over $24,000 in in-kind donations; their efforts
were all the more valuable throughout 2020, as the community coped
with the many challenges and hardships brought on by the COVID-19
pandemic; and
WHEREAS, The six honorees are Albon Wu, who served Parks &
Recreation, Laaiqa Muhammad, who volunteered with Animal Services,
Unna Ramanathan, who helped staff the T. E. Harman Center, Gabriel
Rodriguez, who donated his time to Planning and Development
Services, Brenda Frye, who volunteered at the Municipal Court, and
Ted Lieb, who was a member of the Community Assistance Support Team;
and
WHEREAS, Those Texans who give freely of their time and
talents to benefit their fellow residents make the world a better
place through their actions and their example, and these six
engaged citizens are indeed deserving of recognition for all that
they have accomplished in behalf of their community; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Albon Wu, Laaiqa Muhammad, Unna
Ramanathan, Gabriel Rodriguez, Brenda Frye, and Ted Lieb on being
named 2020 Volunteers of the Year by the City of Sugar Land and
extend to them sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
for the volunteers as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
