H.R. No. 2149 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Yellow House Foundation is dedicated to assisting | ||
residents in Williamson and Travis Counties who are striving to | ||
overcome substance abuse; and | ||
WHEREAS, After 20 years of operation as an Alcoholics | ||
Anonymous meeting, Yellow House Foundation was established more | ||
than 16 years ago by members seeking to provide a permanent location | ||
for multiple recovery groups in Cedar Park; the foundation was | ||
incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 2003 to create an | ||
environment focused solely on recovery by managing facilities and | ||
administrative costs, thereby allowing 12-step recovery groups to | ||
concentrate on helping individuals to regain meaningful lives and | ||
to realize that the most satisfactory years of their existence | ||
still lie ahead; and | ||
WHEREAS, The foundation's facility now hosts more than 2,500 | ||
meetings a year, including 14 groups from such organizations as AA, | ||
Al-Anon, Cocaine Anonymous, and Alateen; the groups themselves are | ||
self-supporting; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through its service to recovery groups, Yellow House | ||
Foundation is helping area residents to build better lives, and in | ||
so doing, the organization is benefiting the entire community; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Yellow House Foundation for its | ||
contributions to substance abuse recovery in Williamson and Travis | ||
Counties and commend all those associated with this noteworthy | ||
organization for their outstanding efforts; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the foundation as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
Bucy | ||
