R E S O L U T I O N
         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.
