| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes pleasure in | ||
| recognizing United Way of Williamson County for its exceptional | ||
| service to the community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Chartered as Taylor Community Chest in October of | ||
| 1939, this respected organization has been variously known as | ||
| United Fund of Taylor and United Way of Taylor; in 2003, it merged | ||
| with United Way of Greater Williamson County, which joined the | ||
| Georgetown Area United Way in 2005; these organizations together | ||
| formed United Way of Williamson County; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Within its service area are the towns of Taylor, | ||
| Hutto, Georgetown, Jarrell, Round Rock, Leander, Cedar Park, and | ||
| Liberty Hill; over the years, the agency's thousands of donors | ||
| and volunteers have helped raise millions of dollars to address | ||
| the needs of area citizens; and | ||
| WHEREAS, United Way of Williamson County helps communities | ||
| by investing in local organizations and institutions that offer | ||
| education, income, health care, and basic-needs services; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This unique agency helps to raise funds for the | ||
| public good and channels those funds into areas where they are | ||
| most needed; it manages tax preparation sites that provide free | ||
| tax services for elderly and low-income clients; it also | ||
| administers education programs, including an initiative that | ||
| encourages adult involvement in mentoring projects; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This esteemed organization has for many decades | ||
| been dedicated to serving families in need, and its members look | ||
| forward to continuing their work and celebrating their | ||
| organization's 75th anniversary in October of 2014; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend United Way of Williamson County and | ||
| extend to its members sincere best wishes for success in all | ||
| their future endeavors; and, be it further | ||
