  WHEREAS, April Cerami, through her diligence and  rigorous  efforts,

youth, tomorrow's leaders, that America will maintain her glory; and

  WHEREAS,  Since  1912,  Girl  Scouts have answered the call to drive

  WHEREAS,  Since 1980, Gold Award Girl Scouts have capped their years
of achievement in Girl Scouting with the Gold Award; and

  WHEREAS, In order to earn the Gold Award, a girl must  fulfill  five
requirements;  chief  among  them is the design and completion of a Gold
Award Project; this project must build upon the interests of  the  girl,
provide a service to the community, and be of lasting benefit; and

  WHEREAS,  For  her  project entitled, "Save the Bees One Flower at a
Time," April Cerami worked to combat the  declining  bee  population  by

  WHEREAS, Gold Award Girl Scouts do not just change the world for the
better, they change it for good; and

developing  sustainable  solutions  to  local,  national,   and   global
challenges; and

  WHEREAS,  This  outstanding  young  woman  has been involved in Girl
Scouting for years, has lived up to Girl Scout's ideals and has attained
all the necessary achievements; and


  WHEREAS,  April  Cerami  is  a credit to her family, her school, her
community, her State and her Nation, and no doubt  her  future  will  be
filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations, in
recognition of the significance  of  this  meritorious  achievement,  to
congratulate  and  honor  Girl  Scout  April Cerami upon the occasion of
earning the Gold Award; and be it further
