H.R. No. 209 |
|
||
WHEREAS, June Lohman, the manager of community and government | ||
relations for Comcast and a longtime friend to the Houston | ||
community, is retiring in 2011, after an outstanding 19-year career | ||
in the cable industry; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Lohman's civic contributions have been many, | ||
both as a private citizen and as the coordinator of her company's | ||
community service initiatives; currently a board member of Child | ||
Advocates, which trains and supports court-appointed volunteers | ||
who work with children in foster care, she has played an | ||
instrumental role in the development of one of that agency's | ||
primary fund-raisers, the Houston Children's Festival; established | ||
in 1988, the festival now offers more than 300 activities and draws | ||
some 50,000 people annually; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through her work at Comcast, this accomplished Texan | ||
has also been responsible for launching some of the most innovative | ||
and beneficial community programs in the Greater Houston area; | ||
these include the Beyond School Walls program, a collaborative | ||
venture with Big Brothers Big Sisters, in which students are | ||
mentored on a regular basis at the Big Brothers Big Sisters' | ||
workplace; Ms. Lohman has similarly overseen the local institution | ||
of her company's Digital Connectors program, which helps youth from | ||
low-income homes to gain digital literacy through both after-school | ||
and summertime programs; in addition, she has guided Comcast Cares | ||
Day, a day on which Comcast employees collectively devote thousands | ||
of hours to worthy projects; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the years, June Lohman has helped to provide | ||
countless young Houstonians with the security and skills they need | ||
to build successful, rewarding lives, and she has contributed | ||
immeasurably to strengthening the community for the benefit of all; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate June Lohman on | ||
the occasion of her retirement from Comcast and extend to her | ||
sincere best wishes for continued fulfillment in the years ahead; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Lohman as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
Thompson | ||
