                    Senators Gavarone, Hicks-Hudson
                       A RESOLUTION
            Honoring The Sight Center of Northwest Ohio on the
              occasion of its One Hundredth Anniversary.
     WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly    1
of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to The Sight Center of Northwest      2
Ohio as it celebrates its One Hundredth Anniversary; and                 3
     WHEREAS, This is, indeed, an important occasion, and it provides    4
an ideal time to acknowledge the exceptional work done by The Sight      5
Center of Northwest Ohio. Established in 1923 as the Toledo Society      6
for the Blind, this nonprofit has helped many people who are dealing     7
with visual impairment or loss, and its unique blend of resources,       8
programs, and supportive services have gained it the gratitude and       9
appreciation of all those it has assisted. Indeed, this agency’s         10
impressive contributions to the community readily explain why it is so   11
widely held in high esteem; and                                          12
     WHEREAS, All those associated with The Sight Center of Northwest    13
Ohio are to be commended for their foresight, dedication, and selfless   14
donations of time, energy, and ability far beyond what was required or   15
expected. These fine people have earned the respect and admiration of    16
many and have set an example of concerned and responsible citizenship    17
worthy of emulation; and                                                 18
     WHEREAS, Since its inception, The Sight Center of Northwest Ohio    19
has experienced tremendous growth and success, expanding its service     20
area to include eighteen counties as well as parts of Southeast          21
Michigan and Central Ohio. We are certain that as this fine              22
organization maintains its unfaltering dedication to compassionate       23
service, it will continue in the tradition of excellence that has        24
become its hallmark; therefore be it                                     25
S. R. No. 227                                                     Page 2
