SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 887
|
|
|
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 Muscular Dystrophy Association 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
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 Senate. |
