 installed; and

 for years, has lived up to Scouting's ideals and has attained all of the

 filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it
 RESOLVED,  That  this  Legislative Body pause in its deliberations, in
 recognition of the significance  of  this  meritorious  achievement,  to
 congratulate  and  honor McKenzie Martin upon the occasion of her desig
 nation as the recipient of a Girl Scout Gold Award; and be it further
 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran
 smitted to McKenzie Martin.
