SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 541
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Wilson County Children's Services Board on the
occasion of the board's benefit dinner on April 7, 2005; and
WHEREAS, Since it began operating in the 1970s, the
Wilson County Children's Services Board has worked to improve
the lives of children in Wilson County, with special emphasis
on the needs of children in foster homes; and
WHEREAS, The board gives foster children monthly
allowances and money on their birthdays and at Christmas; it
provides bedding and other supplies for their homes, vision and
dental care when needed and gift certificates to school-age
children to purchase clothing of their choice; and
WHEREAS, Children need more than the basic necessities in
life to grow and develop socially and mentally; they must have
character-building opportunities, such as those provided at a
summer camp; and
WHEREAS, Members of the Wilson County Children's Services
Board would like for children under their jurisdiction to have
the same opportunities as others; they want to raise funds to
send 10 children to summer camp, and the benefit dinner is an
excellent opportunity for the community to help them reach their
worthy goal; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Wilson County
Children's Services Board for their dedication to serving the
children of Wilson County and extend to them best wishes for a
successful fund-raising event; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
them as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
