|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Vinson purchased his first Chick-fil-A |

|
|
School District; and |

|
|
time and expertise to serve as chair of the Adopt-A-School Program |
|
|
for two years; his genuine desire to help others has resulted in |
|
|
thousands of dollars in donations and clothing for the needy, and |
|
|
among those helped by his charitable efforts were 350 children who |
|
|
were fleeing hurricane-ravaged homes; and |
|

|
|
Wheels, and the Cook Children's Health Care System; and |
|
|

|

|
|
continues to make a positive difference in the lives of countless |
|
|
people; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |

|
Legislature hereby congratulate Steve Vinson on his receipt of the |
|
