BY: Senator RATH

        HONORING ex-Chief Donald Geib upon the occasion of
        his  designation  for  special  recognition after 50
        years of dedicated service to the North Bailey  Fire
        Company

  WHEREAS,  Citizens  across  our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble volunteer firefighters  who  exhibit  courage  and
bravery every day in the course of their duties; and

  WHEREAS,   Volunteer  firefighters  exemplify  the  power  of  human
compassion and the strength of the American spirit  through  actions  of
the   most   heroic  magnitude;  their  sacrifices  and  their  selfless
dedication merit tribute and recognition by all citizens of  this  great
country; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  is justly proud to honor ex-Chief
Donald Geib upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to the North Bailey Fire Company  to
be  celebrated at its Annual Installation of Officers on Saturday, April
23, 2022, at the Ellicott Creek Banquet Facility; and

  WHEREAS, Donald  Geib  has  consistently  demonstrated  a  level  of
commitment,   dedication,  integrity  and  professionalism  which  truly
exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; and

  WHEREAS, Chief of the North Bailey Fire Company  from  2015  through
2017, Donald Geib also has held numerous offices within the organization
and  was  a longtime member of the North Bailey Fire Company drill team,
softball and bowling  teams;  he  continues  to  attend  many  fire  and
emergency  medical  service  calls, training drills, and fire prevention
details; and

  WHEREAS, Donald Geib, over the last several years, held the honor of
being the company's top responder; and

  WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected volunteers are often the first  to
respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation
accident,  natural  disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis, or spill
of hazardous materials; and

  WHEREAS, It takes a special dedication,  a  strong  desire  to  help
others  and  a tireless sense of community to forsake precious time with
family and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in  need;
Donald  Geib  is  such  a  firefighter;  throughout his years of devoted
service, this volunteer heroically performed, above and beyond the  call
of   duty,   those  responsibilities  which  define  the  task  of  fire
protection; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
honor  ex-Chief  Donald  Geib  upon  the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated  service  to  the  North
Bailey Fire Company; and be it further


  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to ex-Chief Donald Geib.
