The resolution highlights recent work by the league, including distributing Period Packs with menstrual care products to local high schools and hosting workshops on health, well-being, and community involvement. The Senate congratulates the organization on its decades of service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide the group a copy of the resolution as a keepsake.
