                            Senator Antonio
                       A RESOLUTION
            Honoring Friendly Inn Settlement, Inc., on its One Hundred
              Fiftieth Anniversary.
     WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly    1
of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to Friendly Inn Settlement, Inc.,     2
as it celebrates its One Hundred Fiftieth Anniversary; and               3
     WHEREAS, This is, indeed, an important occasion, and it provides    4
an ideal time to acknowledge the exceptional work done by Friendly       5
Inn. Since its establishment by the Women’s Temperance Union League in   6
1874 as the Temperance Coffee House and Lunchroom, the organization      7
has engaged in an array of worthwhile activities and projects,           8
including a 5-Star Early Childhood Enrichment Center, numerous           9
individual and family support programs, after-school youth programs, a   10
food bank, and college excursion opportunities, and its impressive       11
contributions to the community readily explain why it is so widely       12
held in high esteem; and                                                 13
     WHEREAS, All those associated with Friendly Inn are to be           14
commended for their foresight, dedication, and selfless donations of     15
time, energy, and ability far beyond what was required or expected.      16
These fine people have earned the respect and admiration of many and     17
have set an example of concerned and responsible citizenship worthy of   18
emulation; and                                                           19
     WHEREAS, The longest continuously serving settlement house in the   20
United States, Friendly Inn has distinguished itself by its commitment   21
to excellence. Throughout its history, it has maintained a reputation    22
for integrity, reliability, and devotion to service, and the             23
charitable efforts of its staff are deserving of the highest praise;     24
therefore be it                                                          25
S. R. No. 451                                                     Page 2
