                              A RESOLUTION to honor and congratulate DeLilah "Dee" Cooper on her receipt of the Governor's Volunteer Stars Award.
       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
community service, contributing $2.6 billion to Tennessee's economy; and WHEREAS, these volunteers are the backbone of our communities, and by donating their time and talents to fulfill needs that would otherwise go unmet, they embody the spirit of
giving; and WHEREAS, DeLilah "Dee" Cooper of Fentress County is one such exemplary person,
who is a recipient of the Governor's Volunteer Stars Award in recognition of her laudable commitment to her community; and WHEREAS, a devoted servant of her fellow neighbor, Ms. Cooper serves on the Board of the Fentress County Children's Advocacy Center, where she helps with fundraisers and distributing Christmas gifts, and the board of South Fentress Outdoor Sports; she also volunteers with the Fentress County Hope Foundation to provide clothing and food to those in
need, in addition to maintaining South Fentress Park and distributing food for the Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency; and WHEREAS, Ms. Cooper is a model citizen; her commitment to helping others through volunteerism epitomizes the spirit of the Volunteer State, and she should be specially recognized; now, therefore,
