A
RESOLUTION
Recognizing
the Road to Safety Program; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
the Road to Safety Program was created in 2010 by Milton residents Lisa Cauley
and Tim Enloe to encourage students to raise awareness in their peers of the
dangers teenagers face as new and inexperienced drivers, with an ultimate goal
of saving lives; and
WHEREAS,
participating students from Fulton County high schools are asked to create a
two-minute long or shorter video expressing a message about the dangers teens
are faced with today and how the distractions and decisions they make while
behind the wheel affect them and everyone else on the road; and
WHEREAS,
the program invites local businesses yearly to support it through donations of
items and products as well as monetary donations for the students;
and
WHEREAS,
the winners receive cash scholarships which, in addition to donated products and
prizes, includes $500 for first place, $200 for second place, and $100 for third
place; and
WHEREAS,
currently, program participants are all from north Fulton County, but program
organizers hope to expand it to the rest of Fulton County and eventually take it
state wide; and
WHEREAS,
the seven schools participating in this year's program are Milton High School,
Alpharetta High School, Johns Creek High School, Centennial High School,
Chattahoochee High School, Northview High School, and Roswell High School;
and
WHEREAS,
it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding work of this fine
program and its numerous contributions to the citizens of this state be
appropriately recognized.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body recognize
the dedicated efforts of the Road to Safety Program to save lives by educating
teenagers on the dangers they face as new and inexperienced drives and extend
their most sincere best wishes for the future.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to the Road to Safety
Program.
