| 11 |
| and
|
| 12 |
| WHEREAS, Recognizing a statewide Parent Appreciation Day |
| 13 |
| would encourage communities to use their creativity, their |
| 14 |

| 15 |
| pleasant place to live, work, and shop to craft their very own |
| 16 |
| recognition event to appreciate parents and adults; and
|
| 17 |
| WHEREAS, Youth, community groups, or schools can lead |
| 18 |
| initiatives; the process of creating, designing, and |
| 19 |
| implementing the event will foster growth, teamwork, and |
| 20 |
| leadership among all involved; this will return exponential |
| 21 |
| benefits to the community as civic awareness and feelings of |
| 22 |
| ownership in the community's future increase; therefore, be it
|
| 23 |
| RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL |
| 24 |

| 28 |
| appreciation to our new generations of young leaders.
