The resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of Flat Rock Homes over the past 160 years, highlighting its role in fostering dignity, connection, and joy for those it serves. The Senate commends the organization for its unwavering dedication to service and excellence, which has helped Ohio maintain its reputation as a responsive and pleasant place to live and work. The resolution concludes with best wishes for Flat Rock Homes' continued success and directs the Clerk of the Senate to provide an authenticated copy of the resolution to the organization.
