|
|
WHEREAS, Members of the United Way are gathering in Austin on |
|
February 15, 2011, to celebrate United Way Day at the State Capitol; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Charitable giving and volunteering are noble |
|
pursuits that do much to enhance the quality of life in the Lone |
|
Star State, and organizations such as the United Way are essential |
|
to those efforts; and |
|
WHEREAS, There are 88 local United Way organizations in |
|
Texas, spanning all corners of the state; these groups assist with |
|
the specific needs and goals of their respective communities in |
|
areas such as education, income, and health; and |
|
WHEREAS, Among the specific initiatives advocated by the |
|
United Way are programs to promote early childhood education, |
|
immunizations, high school graduation, college readiness, family |
|
financial stability, and earned income tax credit awareness; in |
|
addition, local United Way groups place a high priority on |
|
supporting the 2-1-1 social services phone hotlines, which provide |
|
information and referrals to assist people in finding organizations |
|
that can help in times of need; and |
|
WHEREAS, Collectively, United Way organizations mobilize |
|
thousands of volunteers each year and garner charitable |
|
contributions that reinvest hundreds of millions of dollars back |
|
into local communities; these groups carry out a range of |
|
beneficial endeavors that help make our state a better place to live |
|
and work, and they are indeed deserving of our thanks and |
|
commendation; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 15, 2011, as United Way Day |
|
at the State Capitol and extend to the organization's volunteers, |
|
donors, and staff sincere best wishes for continued success in |
|
their important work. |
