WHEREAS, Dick and Horacene Daugird, founders of the |
|
|
Lighthouse Charity Team, have been named the 2013 Citizens of the |
|
|
Year by the Galveston County Daily News; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The organization takes its name from the landmark |
|
|
building that houses the Daugirds' insurance office, which was |
|
|
constructed to resemble a lighthouse; the couple's involvement in |
|
|
charitable work began in 1984, when they agreed to provide meals for |
|
|
the local MDA telethon; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With the success of that initial event, Mr. and Mrs. |
|
|
Daugird saw an opportunity to help the greater community, and they |
|
|
established the Lighthouse Charity Team, which provides food at |
|
|
cost for nonprofit fund-raisers; averaging about 100 events a year |
|
|
for the past decade, the operation has helped to support the Boy |
|
|
Scouts, Jaycees, and Rotary Club, as well as the Galveston County |
|
|
Food Bank, the Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department, the Galveston |
|
|
Police Department Blue Santa program, and Wounded Warriors; the |
|
|
team's generous efforts have also benefited individuals affected by |
|
|
Hurricanes Rita, Ike, and Katrina and the devastating fires in |
|
|
Central Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Those individuals who step forward to share their |
|
|
time and resources are indeed deserving of gratitude, and it is a |
|
|
pleasure to honor Dick and Horacene Daugird for their contributions |
|
|
to the Gulf Coast community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Dick and Horacene Daugird on being |
|
|
named the 2013 Citizens of the Year by the Galveston County Daily |
|
|
News; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Daugird as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
