WHEREAS, Sharon Rhoads has been named the 2008 Volunteer of |
|
the Year by the Katy Area Chamber of Commerce; and |
|
WHEREAS, Over the course of the past four decades, Mrs. |
|
Rhoads has lent her hand to a host of positive endeavors; the former |
|
Katy Independent School District art teacher demonstrates the craft |
|
of making corn husk dolls at the district's annual folk life |
|
festival, sketches the "run-through" signs for the Katy High School |
|
Tiger football team, and has often chaired the school district art |
|
show; on Fridays, she is a reliable presence at Rhoads Elementary |
|
School, which was named for Mrs. Rhoads and her late husband, Jack, |
|
and the building's entrance boasts a mural that she painted; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Keep Katy Beautiful initiative benefits from the |
|
work of this energetic individual; as part of that effort, Mrs. |
|
Rhoads has planted flowers at the Adopt-A-Spot sponsored by Beta |
|
Sigma Phi as well as at the MKT Depot Visitors Center, and she |
|
participated in the Don't Mess with Texas Trash-Off; in addition, |
|
she assists at the rehabilitation center at Memorial Hermann Katy |
|
Hospital and contributes to the programs of the Delta Kappa Gamma |
|
Society International, an honor society for female educators; and |
|
WHEREAS, A congregant at First United Methodist Church, Mrs. |
|
Rhoads has also been a member of the Katy FFA rodeo parade committee |
|
since the 1970s, and she drives people to medical appointments and |
|
provides water for city workers whose jobs keep them outside in the |
|
harsh summer heat; and |
|
WHEREAS, By generously sharing her time and talents, Sharon |
|
Rhoads has greatly benefited her community, and it is indeed |
|
fitting to pay tribute to her unwavering commitment to serving |
|
others; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Sharon Rhoads for receiving the |
|
2008 Volunteer of the Year Award from the Katy Area Chamber of |
|
Commerce and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued |
|
success and happiness; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Mrs. Rhoads as an expression of high regard by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
