R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, For a quarter-century, the Lighthouse Charity Team
  of Friendswood has provided hot meals for people in need and helped
  to raise money for area nonprofit groups; and
         WHEREAS, The Lighthouse Charity Team was founded in 1984,
  when Dick Daugird offered the MDA telethon use of his local landmark
  lighthouse; he invited friends and family to assist in the event,
  and these volunteers provided meals for telethon participants; and
         WHEREAS, Through the years, the operation has helped to raise
  thousands of dollars for worthwhile causes; little leagues,
  churches, and storm victims have benefited from the group's
  generosity; after Hurricane Ike, the Lighthouse Charity Team served
  nearly 50,000 meals to city employees and area residents; and
         WHEREAS, The group has also provided equipment and volunteer
  labor to prepare meals for the Boy Scouts of America, American Heart
  Association, March of Dimes, United Way, and YMCA; and
         WHEREAS, Since its founding, the Lighthouse Charity Team has
  made a positive difference in the lives of many Gulf Coast
  residents, and the organization and its caring staff are indeed
  deserving of special recognition for their notable efforts and
  achievements; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby honor the Lighthouse Charity Team of Friendswood
  on 25 years of service and extend to all those involved sincere best
  wishes for continued success with their important work; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
