She has exhibited a sincere desire to do her best in all of her activities, and this, coupled with her maturity and initiative, shows her potential to become one of tomorrow's leaders; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 129th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend Carolyn Sowa on her outstanding attainment and salute her as one of Ohio's finest young citizens for whom the future holds great promise; and be it further |
