By:
Senators Rogers of the 21st and Murphy of the 27th
A
RESOLUTION
Commending
Mr. Steve Monahan; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
while recuperating from an operation where he was given only a 50 percent chance
of surviving, Mr. Steve Monahan vowed to dedicate his gift of more time to live
by giving back to the community; and
WHEREAS,
after investigating several charities, he noticed that none of them offered
assistance for the pets of people whose circumstances made caring for their pets
difficult; and
WHEREAS,
having determined a course of action, Mr. Monahan called upon his considerable
business acumen to found Meals Fur Pets, the only organized charitable
foundation that focuses solely on the well-being of the pets of persons and
families in need; and
WHEREAS,
using established organizations which help persons in need, Meals Fur Pets
delivers pet food, medical care, and services to help them properly care for
their pets; and
WHEREAS,
pets play a vital role in many families and offer comfort and stability in times
of difficulty, yet when hard economic decisions must be made and families and
loved ones must be given first priority, it is often the pets which suffer,
creating a situation in which not only is a person or a family deprived of a
needed friend but which also creates guilt and added pressure; the lifeline
offered by Meals Fur Pets is far more than feeding hungry animals, it provides
invaluable assistance to people and families in difficulty; and
WHEREAS,
it is only right and proper that Mr. Steve Monahan be recognized and commended
for his tremendous contribution to his community and his state.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body recognize
and commend Mr. Steve Monahan for his invaluable contribution to his community
in founding Meals Fur Pets.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Mr. Steve Monahan.
