H.R. No. 2059 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Dick and Horacene Daugird, founders of the | ||
Lighthouse Charity Team, have been named the 2013 Citizens of the | ||
Year by the Galveston County Daily News; and | ||
WHEREAS, The organization takes its name from the landmark | ||
building that houses the Daugirds' insurance office, which was | ||
constructed to resemble a lighthouse; the couple's involvement in | ||
charitable work began in 1984, when they agreed to provide meals for | ||
the local MDA telethon; and | ||
WHEREAS, With the success of that initial event, Mr. and Mrs. | ||
Daugird saw an opportunity to help the greater community, and they | ||
established the Lighthouse Charity Team, which provides food at | ||
cost for nonprofit fund-raisers; averaging about 100 events a year | ||
for the past decade, the operation has helped to support the Boy | ||
Scouts, Jaycees, and Rotary Club, as well as the Galveston County | ||
Food Bank, the Friendswood Volunteer Fire Department, the Galveston | ||
Police Department Blue Santa program, and Wounded Warriors; the | ||
team's generous efforts have also benefited individuals affected by | ||
Hurricanes Rita, Ike, and Katrina and the devastating fires in | ||
Central Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Those individuals who step forward to share their | ||
time and resources are indeed deserving of gratitude, and it is a | ||
pleasure to honor Dick and Horacene Daugird for their contributions | ||
to the Gulf Coast community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Dick and Horacene Daugird on being | ||
named the 2013 Citizens of the Year by the Galveston County Daily | ||
News; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Daugird as an expression of high regard by | ||
the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
