Bill > SJR0232

This resolution honors Michelle Lane, a high school teacher and local business owner, for receiving the Governor's Volunteer Stars Award, a recognition that celebrates her exceptional community service. The resolution highlights Lane's significant contributions, particularly her efforts in helping local communities affected by floods and transforming her coffee shop into a volunteer hub. It contextualizes her work within the broader framework of volunteerism in Tennessee, noting that the state's 1.3 million volunteers contribute 99 million hours of community service annually, valued at $2.6 billion. The resolution specifically praises Lane for her selflessness, compassion, and embodiment of the "Volunteer State" spirit, and formally commends her for her outstanding community leadership. By passing this resolution, the Tennessee General Assembly (the state legislature) seeks to officially recognize Lane's dedicated service and extend best wishes for her future endeavors, while also preparing an official copy of the resolution to be presented to her.
