WHEREAS, Each May, the United States Department of Health and |
|
|
Human Services Administration on Aging promotes the observance of |
|
|
Older Americans Month, and with the 2011 theme of "Connecting the |
|
|
Community," this occasion presents an ideal opportunity to |
|
|
recognize the important role played by the residents of Seven Acres |
|
|
Jewish Senior Care Services; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The largest not-for-profit long-term care facility |
|
|
in Houston, Seven Acres serves more than 300 residents on the |
|
|
Pauline Sterne Wolff Campus; members of its population continue to |
|
|
contribute to the community in myriad ways, giving generously of |
|
|
their time and talents to hospitals, schools, and philanthropic |
|
|
organizations; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Numerous residents of Seven Acres benefit their |
|
|
fellow citizens through membership in the Retired Senior Volunteer |
|
|
Program Club; their example of civic engagement encourages younger |
|
|
people to give back to their communities, and Seven Acres provides |
|
|
opportunities for students to develop a sense of civic |
|
|
responsibility by taking part in the Mitzvah Volunteer Program at |
|
|
the facility; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The contributions of older Americans cannot be |
|
|
overstated, for their experience and wisdom are vital to the future |
|
|
of the Lone Star State; bringing warmth and joy to others, the |
|
|
residents of Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services are a source of |
|
|
great inspiration, and their participation in the community |
|
|
strengthens its fabric immeasurably; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor the residents of Seven Acres Jewish Senior |
|
|
Care Services on the occasion of Older Americans Month and extend to |
|
|
them sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services as an |
|
|
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
