WHEREAS, Guthrie High School students Rachel Brendle, |
|
|
Coulter Reel, and Sheridan Smith demonstrated great |
|
|
resourcefulness by repurposing old tires into dog beds and donating |
|
|
them to local animal shelters; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, As part of a community service project for FCCLA, |
|
|
the young women challenged themselves to find a way to make use of |
|
|
some of the 300 million tires that are disposed of each year in the |
|
|
United States; inspired by the fact that all three are avid dog |
|
|
lovers, the trio decided to make a donation of dog beds to The Haven |
|
|
Animal Care Shelter in Lubbock and Animal Rescue of Crosby County; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Brendle, Ms. Reel, and Ms. Smith salvaged most |
|
|
of the tires from a landfill and sold homemade cookies to cover the |
|
|
cost of the other supplies that were needed to create the dog beds; |
|
|
they then delivered 38 beds to the two shelters with the help of |
|
|
fellow classmates; along the way, they benefited from the guidance |
|
|
and support of their FCCLA advisor, Cassie Daniel; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These bright young Texans have distinguished |
|
|
themselves by finding a creative solution to an environmental issue |
|
|
while helping animals in need, and they are indeed deserving of |
|
|
recognition for this impressive endeavor; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Rachel Brendle, Coulter Reel, and |
|
|
Sheridan Smith for donating dog beds made from recycled tires to |
|
|
local animal shelters and extend to them sincere best wishes for the |
|
|
future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared |
|
|
for Ms. Brendle, Ms. Reel, and Ms. Smith as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
