A RESOLUTION

Recognizing and commending Nancy and Clint Bowling; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Nancy and Clint Bowling's devotion and generosity to the community of Cherokee County have earned them recognition as TowneLaker magazine's Pathfinders of the Month; and

WHEREAS, the Bowlings' volunteer work with a church clothing drive for the homeless inspired them to create a ministry to respond to the overwhelming need for clothing by families in their communities; and

WHEREAS, the Bowlings answered their call to help by cleaning out their own closets, seeking donations from family and friends, and buying clothes at garage sales, fund raisers, and consignment shops; and

WHEREAS, after 23 years, this kindhearted and dedicated couple has grown their ministry to include thousands of clothing items and has recruited the assistance of several families from their church, City on a Hill Methodist, in need of clothing who volunteer their time in exchange for clothing; and

WHEREAS, the Bowlings assist with many other clothing ministries including the program, Give Kids a Chance, which allows needy children to start their school year with school supplies, new clothing, and vision and dental screenings, serving almost 2,000 children in 2008; and

WHEREAS, in addition to working full-time for Delta Airlines and serving their community, the Bowlings enjoy spending time with the families of their three sons, David, Adam, and Steven, and are the proud grandparents of four grandchildren, Allison, Matthew, William, and Dillon; and
WHEREAS, the benevolent and honorable deeds of this charitable couple serve as a shining example of volunteerism, and the State of Georgia is honored and blessed to have Mr. and Mrs. Bowling as citizens.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend Nancy and Clint Bowling on their volunteer efforts and contributions and congratulate them on the honorable distinction of being named TowneLaker magazine's Pathfinders of the Month.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Nancy and Clint Bowling.
