         WHEREAS, Brenda Gardner received the Platinum Volunteer of
  the Year Award at the 2012 Rowlett Boards and Commissions Volunteer
  Banquet; and
         WHEREAS, This annual event pays tribute to outgoing board and
  commission members for their service while honoring volunteers in
  the community; Ms. Gardner was recognized for her significant
  contributions to the Rowlett Public Library and for her boundless
  enthusiasm for the library and its offerings; and
         WHEREAS, Ms. Gardner spent nearly a year not only performing

  contacting and interviewing volunteer applicants, learning about
  their interests, scheduling them for shifts, and recruiting other
  potential volunteers; and
         WHEREAS, Setting a fine example of civic participation,
  Brenda Gardner is truly an asset to the city of Rowlett, and her
  efforts have benefited her fellow residents in many ways; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Brenda Gardner on her receipt of
  the Platinum Volunteer of the Year Award at the 2012 Rowlett Boards
  and Commissions Volunteer Banquet and extend to her sincere best
  wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Ms. Gardner as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
