SR394: SR394 Robinson, Reverend Dr. William Holmes; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Reverend Dr. William Holmes Robinson, pastor of The Olivet Church, on the 13th anniversary of his leadership there. The resolution highlights his role in a capital campaign that led to a new Worship and Services Center in 2018, and notes his service as chaplain for the Fulton and DeKalb County sheriff's offices and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. The resolution formally commends him and wishes him continued success. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for him, so he has a printed record of the honor from the state legislature.
