| WHEREAS, There are 88 local United Way organizations in | ||

| communities they serve; and | ||
| WHEREAS, United Way organizations have had a profound | ||
| influence on the lives of countless Texans, and it is truly | ||
| fitting that they be recognized for their many contributions to | ||
| the state; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the staff, volunteers, and donors of | ||
| the United Way on their outstanding efforts to improve their | ||
| communities and extend to them best wishes for a memorable United | ||
