SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 608
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Xandria Barkwell, who has completed the requirements
for earning a Girl Scout Gold Award; and
WHEREAS, The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award
that can be earned by girls between the ages of 14 and 18; only a
few Girl Scouts attain this distinguished honor; and
WHEREAS, Girl Scouts develop leadership and organizational
skills through the process of earning a Gold Award, and their
commitment to the betterment of their community forms the basis
for a lifetime of active citizenship; and
WHEREAS, Xandria has shown leadership by designing and
implementing a service project that will be of lasting benefit to
her community; and
WHEREAS, She worked with the Dallas Fire Department to help
raise awareness of the importance of smoke detectors; she gave
presentations to numerous groups, which led to the donation of
more than 350 smoke detectors for people whose homes did not have
them; and
WHEREAS, In receiving the Girl Scout Gold Award, Xandria
has brought great honor to herself, her family, her council, and
her community; she is truly a shining example to the young people
of this state; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend Xandria Barkwell on earning the Girl
Scout Gold Award and congratulate her on this outstanding
accomplishment; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
