WHEREAS, Jim and Bob Gregory, the founders of Texas Disposal |
|
|
Systems, have generously donated 250 cardiopulmonary resuscitation |
|
|
education kits to the Travis County community of Creedmoor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Cardiac arrest can unexpectedly strike its victims |
|
|
at any time, and CPR performed by a bystander in the crucial minutes |
|
|
before emergency personnel arrive can significantly improve a |
|
|
victim's chance of survival; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Formal CPR education usually involves a four-hour |
|
|
certification class, but even a rudimentary knowledge of CPR can be |
|
|
lifesaving; the free education kits include a 22-minute DVD and an |
|
|
inflatable mannequin; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Kits will be distributed to every household in |
|
|
Creedmoor by members of Travis County Fire/Rescue; DVD players will |
|
|
be provided to households that don't have one, and firefighters |
|
|
will make follow-up visits to answer any remaining questions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, At the suggestion of Fire Chief Ken Bailey, TDS |
|
|
President and CEO Bob Gregory and TDS Vice President Jim Gregory |
|
|
donated $5,000 to purchase the kits, enabling every household in |
|
|
the community to receive one; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their benevolence, Bob and Jim Gregory have |
|
|
greatly contributed to the health and well-being of their fellow |
|
|
Texans; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Jim and Bob Gregory of Texas Disposal |
|
|
Systems for donating CPR education kits to the citizens of |
|
|
Creedmoor and commend them for their lifesaving efforts; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Jim and Bob Gregory as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
