A RESOLUTION
Commending the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association and
inviting representatives of the association to appear before the House of
Representatives; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, individual and organized forms of recreation and the creative use of leisure time have gained significance in the lives of Georgians as their free time for personal pursuits has diminished; and
WHEREAS, recreation encompasses myriad activities that result in personal satisfaction and family unity; and
WHEREAS, recreation is not confined to the young and those with great physical prowess but can be pursued by persons of all ages and abilities in programs of arts and crafts, tourism, cultural endeavors, and nature studies; and
WHEREAS, recreation promotes a zestful approach to life in general through the encouragement of a broad range of recreation activities that do not demand special instructions or equipment; and
WHEREAS, recreation in its most far-reaching benefits can help combat the problems of juvenile delinquency, drug abuse, disabling old age, and general depression by offering new avenues of interest to individuals; and
WHEREAS, the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association is celebrating its fifty-eighth year as an organization committed to the development of quality recreational facilities and programs in cities and counties throughout Georgia; and
WHEREAS, Georgia is a recognized leader in the field of leisure services, but sustained prominence demands citizen participation, sound management, and adequate appropriations by all levels of government.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body commend the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association for its organized efforts and outstanding commitment to public recreation services and invite representatives of the association to appear before the House of Representatives at a day and a time to be determined by the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
