SR941: SR941 Georgia District Exchange Clubs; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate marking the 100th anniversary of the Georgia District Exchange Clubs.

It also notes that April is nationally recognized as Prevention of Child Abuse Month, tying the anniversary to that observance. The resolution does not change any Georgia law.
