A RESOLUTION


Commending Donna Chandler; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, The Townelaker magazine each month recognizes a local person that exemplifies the qualities of a pathfinder, or someone that is leading the way, trying to make the community the best it can be; and

WHEREAS, Donna Chandler was recognized by The Townelaker magazine as Pathfinder of the Month for September 2006 and was nominated for Pathfinder of the Year for 2007; and

WHEREAS, Donna Chandler is a key volunteer in the American Cancer's Love Lights a Tree and Relay for Life, who organizes both events and recruits other volunteers; and

WHEREAS, she has also served as a volunteer for the Cherokee County Special Olympics; and

WHEREAS, volunteerism, the willingness of people to work on behalf of others without the expectation of pay or other tangible gain, is what being a part of a community is all about; and

WHEREAS, Donna is the type of volunteer and the type of person who remembers to do the thing to make other people happy, who takes the loneliness out of the alone by talking to them, who is concerned when others are unconcerned, who has the courage to be a prophet and to say the things that have to be said for the good of all, and who most importantly takes action to help others when they need it the most.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend and congratulate Donna Chandler on being recognized by The Townelaker magazine as Pathfinder of the Month for September 2006 and as a nominee for Pathfinder of the Year for 2007 and express to her their appreciation for her selfless contributions to her community and this state.
