HR238: HR238 Tidmore, Melony; Miss Cobb County's Teen 2025; commend

This is a commendation resolution, a type of bill the Georgia House of Representatives uses to publicly recognize an individual's achievements. It does not change any law. The resolution honors Melony Tidmore, a high school sophomore who was crowned Miss Cobb County's Teen 2025 and won the competition's Talent award for a ballet performance. The text describes her community service initiative promoting dance for physical and mental health, especially among senior citizens, her partnerships with local health and arts organizations, her years of dance training, her role on the Cobb County Youth Commission, and her academic record. The House resolves to congratulate her and directs the Clerk of the House to provide her a copy of the resolution.
