Rev. Walter W. Reid, Sr., Pastor of Trinity African Methodist Episcopal Church in Lansing, offered the following invocation:

 

"Eternal Creator, by whatever name You may be called, we pause now to invoke Your blessings, Your grace and Your direction upon this House. Please accept our thanks for our continued lives, for our nation, for our state and for the opportunity which is ours to serve and to make better the quality of life for our citizenry. Pour out upon each of these elected officials the grace, the wisdom and the will to do that which is right and good. Grant that each of them may incline to Your will and walk in Your way for the common good of all, so that all things may be so ordered and settled by their endeavors upon the best and surest foundations. May peace, happiness, truth and justice be established among us for all generations. Grant that our state may be a state of justice, where none shall prey on others; a state of plenty, where vice and poverty shall cease to fester; a state of brotherhood and sisterhood, where all success shall be founded on service and honor shall be given to nobleness alone; a state of peace where order shall not rest on force, but on the love of all for our state and for each other. Show us, I pray thee, Thy kinship and our obligation to all peoples--both here in our state, in our nation and around the world. Let neither self, nor selfish ambition pervade our thoughts and influence our acts to the negation of the greater good of all. May all that is done in this session snugly and appropriately fit into a universal pattern that brings peace, prosperity and well-being to the whole of mankind. Amen."

House Resolution No. 308.

A resolution honoring Saturnino Rodriguez upon his retirement as an educator in the Lansing School District.

Whereas, The retirement of Saturnino Rodriguez from his responsibilities as an educator brings to a close an era of dedicated service to the young people of Lansing. We are pleased to join with students, coworkers, parents, family, and friends in expressing our appreciation and best wishes to this most devoted professional; and

Whereas, In his 42 years as an educator, Saturnino Rodriguez has followed the noble pursuit of educating young people, a tradition that always has been an important part of Michigan's heritage. In his work in the Lansing School District, he has instilled lifelong skills and helped build self-confidence in thousands of youngsters who have grown to adulthood as capable and upstanding citizens. Though the tools used by modern day teachers are far different than the slates and one-room schools of yesteryear, Saturnino Rodriguez has much in common with teachers from our pioneer era who worked so hard to build the future of this state through its children; and

Whereas, During Saturnino Rodriguez's years in the classroom and in the administration, many changes have occurred in our society that affect the learning process. His ability to meet the challenges and cope with a changing world requires not only skill, but a deep sense of emotional concern. We thank Saturnino for passing this legacy on to our rising generations; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Saturnino Rodriguez upon his retirement as an educator in the Lansing School District. May he enjoy the health and happiness his years have earned him; and be it further

With the record that this talented and energetic woman has compiled over the years, we offer our great respect. Her excellence in endeavors of great importance to every citizen, business, and institution in the United States are highly valued. With the gift of story telling, she shares and breaths life into history, which she was a vital part of; and

Whereas, Being the highest-ranking female in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Dorothy F. Cotton is being singled out for her efforts in several areas. In addition to specific innovations, she is being honored for success in the most fundamental components of powerful speaking and teacher/workshop facilitating. We applaud the dedication she has consistently displayed and offer our thanks for the manner in which young people benefit from all of this hard work; now, therefore, be it

A resolution honoring Reverend Dr. Joseph L. Roberts, Jr.

Whereas, It is with sincere appreciation for the manner in which Reverend Dr. Joseph L. Roberts, Jr.'s outstanding leadership has enriched so many lives, that we join with the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in welcoming him to the Visiting Minority Faculty Lecture Series, "Slavery to Freedom: An American Odyssey". The counsel, encouragement, and direction that he has shared in all aspects of his life has had a positive influence far beyond his church to grace the community-at-large; and

Whereas, Reverend Dr. Joseph L. Roberts, Jr., has been meeting the spiritual needs of the good people of the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church since 1975. With a heartfelt concern for others that is immediately apparent to all who meet him, Reverend Dr. Joseph L. Roberts, Jr., has brought a new era to many individuals and families. While several events and milestones at the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church provide obvious evidence of the good works of Reverend Dr. Joseph L. Roberts, Jr., less tangible, but no less important, are the gifts of deepened faith and serenity his ministry has made possible; and

Whereas, With the continued good work of Reverend Dr. Joseph L. Roberts, Jr., and with all that he has shared with others over the years, there can be little doubt that his works and strength will long continue to be of the greatest value in the months and years to come; now, therefore, be it

House Resolution No. 311.

A resolution commemorating the 100th anniversary of American Automobile Association, (AAA).

Whereas, On Tuesday, March 5th, 2002, AAA celebrates their 100th anniversary. Established in 1902, AAA was founded in Chicago by a federation of touring and auto clubs; and

Whereas, AAA's earliest goal was to improve the nation's roads to better accommodate the automobile. In 1910, AAA sought passage of the Federal Registration Bill, which was legislation to eliminate state barriers to interstate travel; and

Whereas, Emergency road service has been the hallmark of AAA. AAA clubs across the nation came to the rescue of nearly 30 million stranded motorists. The association provides a variety of emergency vehicle services, including flat tire service, towing, battery boosts, and lockout assistance. In response to motorists concern as to the price and availability of gasoline, AAA initiated the Fuel Gauge Report. The report is issued weekly and advises motorists of gasoline availability, prices, and station hours of operation; and

Whereas, AAA is the largest travel publisher in the world, publishing nearly 300 million copies of travel-related materials each year. With nearly 1,000 accredited, full-service travel agencies, AAA travel is one of the largest leisure travel agencies in the United States. In 1963, AAA adopted a rating system that would evolve into the AAA Diamond Rating System; and

Whereas, AAA pioneered the concept of driver education. In response to an increasing number of automobiles on city streets, AAA formed the School Safety Patrol program. Today this program includes more than a half-million student patrollers in 50,000 schools across the nation; and

Whereas, Today, AAA is the largest association in America. AAA is comprised of a not-for-profit federation offering an array of automotive, travel, insurance, and financial services to its 44 million members nationwide; now therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 100th anniversary of AAA.
