WHEREAS, Grant Allen, an esteemed resident of Grand Saline |
|
and a senior at Grand Saline High School, has achieved national |
|
recognition for exemplary volunteer service with his receipt of a |
|
2007 Prudential Spirit of Community Award; and |
|

demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to serving their |
|
communities; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Allen earned this award by giving generously of |
|
his time and energy in soundproofing the three band hall practice |
|
rooms at his school; he initiated the project on his own, collected |

volunteers from his church, Boy Scout troop, band, and community, |
|
completing the project over the course of three weekends; and |
|
WHEREAS, The success of the Lone Star State, the strength of |
|
our communities, and the overall vitality of American society |
|
depend, in great measure, on the civic engagement of young people |
|
like Grant Allen, who use their considerable talents and skills to |
|
serve others; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Grant Allen on his receipt of a |
|
Prudential Spirit of Community Award and extend to him sincere best |
|
wishes for continued success in all his endeavors; and, be it |
|
further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
