R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Meryl-Ina Samantha Kizzee of the Girl Scouts of San
Jacinto Council has been named a recipient of the 2004-2005 Girl
Scout Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; and
WHEREAS, The Gold Award recognizes young women for their
commitment to themselves, their community, and the world; each

projects that build on the skills she has learned throughout her
years in Girl Scouts, and that culminate in a Gold Award project
that has a positive and lasting impact on her community; and

Ms. Kizzee included coordinating the food pantry at Greater Mount
Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church, which benefited the Julia C.
Hester House for three summers, initiating a mosquito repellant
drive at the Greater Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church, and the
research and preparation of a comprehensive homeless resources
directory; she also volunteered to serve Thanksgiving dinner to the
homeless at the Brown Convention Center and sponsored a community
Thanks-for-Giving reception honoring donors to homeless causes;
and
WHEREAS, By encouraging young women to exercise leadership,
explore career opportunities, and discover more about themselves,
the Girl Scout program builds the confidence, self-awareness, and
community spirit of our future leaders; those who complete the
challenging requirements of the Gold Award demonstrate the
perseverance and discipline that are vital to success in life; and
WHEREAS, The maturity, dedication, and spirit that
Ms. Kizzee has exhibited in pursuit of her goals truly exemplify
the noblest ideals of the Girl Scout program, and she merits special
recognition for her achievements; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Meryl-Ina Samantha Kizzee on her receipt
of a 2004-2005 Girl Scout Gold Award and extend to her best wishes
for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Kizzee as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
