| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas takes pleasure in | ||
| recognizing the Literacy Coalition of Central Texas on the | ||
| occasion of its 10th annual Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee, which | ||
| takes place on April 23, 2013; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Literacy Coalition of Central Texas was | ||
| founded in 2001 in an effort to reduce the trend of low adult | ||
| literacy in the area; the coalition supports a network of more | ||
| than 50 nonprofit agencies that provide a range of literacy | ||
| programming in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson | ||
| Counties; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The services provided by these partner agencies | ||
| and supported by the coalition include courses in adult basic | ||
| literacy, English as a Second Language, and preparation for the | ||
| General Educational Development test; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Literacy Coalition of Central Texas has the | ||
| commendable goal of helping to create a region in which 100 | ||
| percent of the population is literate, employable, and engaged; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, The annual Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee has become | ||
| a vital fund-raiser for the coalition; the proceeds from this | ||
| popular event help the organization achieve its mission of | ||
| improving the quality and increasing the availability of | ||
| literacy instruction for Central Texans; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Education and opportunity are closely linked in | ||
| today's society; it is important that regional and national | ||
| literacy organizations receive the support of their communities, | ||
| so that they may help to create a better future for all Americans; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the Literacy Coalition of Central | ||
| Texas and extend to its members sincere best wishes for the 10th | ||
| anniversary Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this outstanding organization as an expression of high | ||
| regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
