Bill > HJR0262

This resolution honors Shelly Rice for his two decades of leadership with the Frayser Exchange Club, a community organization in Tennessee. The resolution highlights Rice's significant contributions to civic engagement in the Frayser neighborhood, noting that he was instrumental in reviving the club in the early 2000s and helping to create a forum for community members to discuss and solve local issues across political divides. During his leadership, the Exchange Club played a key role in important community developments, including the construction of a new high school, public library, and community center named after his father. The resolution praises Rice for embodying the spirit of public service that Tennessee is known for as the "Volunteer State" and acknowledges his humble decision to step down from leadership in January 2025, passing the role to Pastor Mike Ellis. The document officially commends Rice for his outstanding leadership, motivating civic engagement, and extending best wishes for his future endeavors, with a provision to prepare an official copy of the resolution for presentation.
