UNOFFICIAL COPY AS OF 02/05/14 14 REG. SESS. 14 RS BR 1429

A RESOLUTION honoring Kela Bailey.

WHEREAS, this honorable body rightfully commends the children of this Commonwealth who are so special that they become influential not only to their peers, but to the adults around them as well; and

WHEREAS, 11-year-old Kela Bailey is one such child. The Bowling Green native informed her parents before Christmas 2013 that her one wish was to raise money in support of the Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society, where she and her father, John, volunteer twice a month; and

WHEREAS, Kela Bailey's mother, Phaedra, created a Facebook page called "Kela's Christmas Wish," and began accepting donations or items for the shelter. Because of this one little girl's idea, the Humane Society received several hundred dollars worth of much-needed money and supplies; and

WHEREAS, Kela Bailey wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. With her indelible kindness and good heart, there is little doubt that she will continue to be a positive influence to every human and animal that she meets; and

WHEREAS, this body hereby honors Kela Bailey for her selfless gift during the holiday season, thanks her for the uncommon generosity she has shown to the Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society and the animals cared for there, and commends her wonderful parents for raising a daughter who has so profoundly made an impact on the lives of so many;

NOW, THEREFORE,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:

âSection 1. The Senate commends the generosity of Kela Bailey, honors her for the special gift she has given to the Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society, and wishes her the best of luck as she continues to set a positive example in her community.

âSection 2. When the Senate adjourns this day, it does so in honor of Kela Bailey.

âSection 3. The Clerk of the Senate is directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to Senator Mike Wilson for delivery.
