| H.R. No. 528 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce recently | ||
| presented the owners of All Things Kids, Christian and Karen | ||
| Soeffker, its 2012 Small Business Award; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Established in 2009 in the family garage, All Things | ||
| Kids was born from the Soeffkers' desire to provide their son, Carl, | ||
| with creatively designed and educationally stimulating toys; the | ||
| business eventually moved into its current location on Main Street, | ||
| where Mr. Soeffker runs the daily operations and Mrs. Soeffker | ||
| assists when not at her full-time job at an Austin technology | ||
| company; Carl, now six years old, has also shown an impressive work | ||
| ethic in his role as vice president of product testing; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to their selection of toys, All Things | ||
| Kids also offers unique services such as summer learning programs | ||
| and child care on weekend nights; graduates of the Leadership | ||
| Georgetown program, the Soeffkers have been members of the chamber | ||
| since their store opened and have demonstrated remarkable | ||
| entrepreneurial spirit, with sales increasing 200 percent in 2012 | ||
| alone, and dedication to their city, as they actively promote | ||
| downtown Georgetown; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated small businesses play a | ||
| vital role in the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and Karen and | ||
| Christian Soeffker may indeed reflect with pride on their important | ||
| contributions to the Georgetown community; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby honor Christian and Karen Soeffker on their | ||
| receipt of the 2012 Small Business Award from the Georgetown | ||
| Chamber of Commerce and extend to them sincere best wishes for | ||
| continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Soeffker as an expression of high regard | ||
| by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
