Through their decisive leadership, they have distinguished themselves as conscientious and hard-working Ohioans, and we are certain that they will continue to display the same unwavering dedication to service and achievement for which they have become known; and

       WHEREAS,  Willingly giving of their time, energy, and abilities far beyond what was required or expected, Al and Barbara Siemer have striven to better the world around them. Through their generous contributions, they have earned the respect and esteem of all who know them, and they are deserving of high praise. We are proud to note that it is through the unceasing efforts of people such as these that Ohio has gained a reputation as a state whose residents are responsive to the diverse needs of their communities; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend Al and Barbara Siemer on their recent accolade and salute them as two of Ohio's finest citizens; and be it further

       RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to Al and Barbara Siemer.
