En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Jack and Jill of America, Inc., a membership organization of mothers with children ages 2 to 19 that focuses on leadership development, volunteer service, and civic engagement for African-American youth. The resolution recounts the group's history, founding in 1938 in Philadelphia, its growth to 262 chapters nationwide, and its philanthropic foundation established in 1968. It also lists Georgia's regional leadership and the presidents of the state's local chapters. The Senate resolves to commend the organization and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to the group for distribution.
