commitment to the welfare of the citizens of Georgia; and

this dedicated public servant has devoted numerous hours of his time, talents,

of the Old Jackson Theater and the Old Lettuce Packing Shed; and

throughout his nearly five decades of faithful service to the people of
Woodbine, Mr. Clark also served as a volunteer firefighter, helped repair water

WHEREAS,
his significant organizational and leadership talents, his remarkable patience
