    1-1        WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is proud to honor
    1-2  Madgelean Bush of Houston for the outstanding contributions she has
    1-3  made to the citizens of her community for the past quarter of a
    1-4  century; and
    1-5        WHEREAS, This remarkable woman has long played an active role
    1-6  in making the city of Houston a better place in which to live and
    1-7  raise a family through her exemplary work with the Martin Luther
    1-8  King Community Center and the Mickey Leland Crisis Nursery; and
    1-9        WHEREAS, In this capacity, Ms. Bush has worked diligently to
   1-10  aid disadvantaged individuals in dealing with a wide variety of
   1-11  social and economic hardships by providing much-needed guidance in
   1-12  such varied areas as drug abuse prevention, juvenile delinquency
   1-13  prevention, and programs for the elderly, to name but a few; and
   1-14        WHEREAS, Largely through the efforts of Ms. Bush, this fine
   1-15  facility has helped many Texans to better realize their full
   1-16  potential through encouragement and access to many important
   1-17  services; the nursery also has touched the lives of countless
   1-18  children and their parents through its generous offerings of care
   1-19  and compassion in times of need; and
   1-20        WHEREAS, Too often in this complex world we underestimate our
   1-21  own powers to bring about positive change or to enhance the lives
   1-22  of those around us; the tireless efforts of Madgelean Bush in her
   1-23  work with the Martin Luther King Community Center and the Mickey
   1-24  Leland Crisis Nursery provide tangible proof of the difference that
    2-1  one individual's energy and determination can make; now, therefore,
    2-2  be it
    2-3        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
    2-4  Legislature hereby commend Madgelean Bush for her enduring
    2-5  contributions to the Martin Luther King Community Center and the
    2-6  Mickey Leland Crisis Nursery and extend to her sincere best wishes
    2-7  for continued success in the years to come; and, be it further
    2-8        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
    2-9  prepared for Ms. Bush as an expression of high regard by the Texas
   2-10  House of Representatives.
