|
|
WHEREAS, Established in 1955, MCUW actively encourages |
|
|
individuals and companies to work together to give, advocate, and |

WHEREAS, The United Way invests in area organizations that |

|
offer education, financial, health, and basic services to |

low-to-moderate-income and elderly clients, and of its Healthy |
|
|
Living Alliance, which addresses obesity; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For six decades, the administrators, staff, and |

|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
