House Resolution 864

By: Representative Cheokas of the 151st

A RESOLUTION

Honoring Melissa Montgomery; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Melissa Montgomery was the long time personal assistant to First Lady Rosalynn Carter; and

WHEREAS, she was instrumental in the creation of the Rosalynn Carter Butterfly Trail through partnerships with Emory University's deRoode Monarch Lab and Research, Monarchs Across Georgia, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Services; and

WHEREAS, the Rosalynn Carter Butterfly Trail began due to Rosalynn Carter's concern of the declining number of Monarch butterflies; and

WHEREAS, in 2013, Rosalynn decided she wanted to include native plants that would provide habitat for Monarchs and other butterflies and pollinators in her private garden in Plains as a way to help Monarchs; and

WHEREAS, this private garden was the beginning for the Rosalynn Carter Butterfly Trail, which now has over 3,000 registered gardens across the United States; and

WHEREAS, the success of the trail is due to supporters like Melissa Montgomery, Mrs. Carter's personal assistant, who for over 39 years coordinated the personal, family, business, and organizational details that Mrs. Carter was involved in; and

WHEREAS, due to Melissa's commitment to Mrs. Carter's desire to help the Monarchs, the United States Fish and Wildlife Services entered into a partnership with the Rosalynn Carter Butterfly Trail assisting with establishing funding and resources for hundreds of butterfly gardens in public places and schools in the Southeastern United States; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this outstanding Georgian be appropriately recognized.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body honor the contributions Melissa Montgomery has made to the Rosalynn Carter Butterfly Trail.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to Melissa Montgomery.
