WHEREAS, it is fitting that the members of this General Assembly should specially recognize those estimable citizens who have dedicated their time and energies to helping others; and WHEREAS, each year, 1.3 million Tennessee volunteers give over 99 million hours of

giving; and WHEREAS, Jimmie Higgs of Weakley County is one such exemplary person, who is a recipient of the Governor's Volunteer Stars Award in recognition of his laudable commitment to
his community; and WHEREAS, Mr. Higgs is a model citizen; his commitment to helping others through volunteerism epitomizes the spirit of the Volunteer State, and he should be specially recognized;
