May 13th, 2009 - Posted by OneStar Foundation
Today, OneStar and AmeriCorps*Texas service members were recognized at the Texas House of Representatives through House Resolution 1398, which recognizes May 9-16, 2009, as AmeriCorps Week.
OneStar invited AmeriCorps*Texas members to be present in the gallery for the reading of the resolution. Representative Elliott Naishtat, a former AmeriCorps VISTA member, introduced the resolution while commending AmeriCorps*Texas service members for their dedication. Representative Naishtat also praised the tremendous impact that national service can have on both communities and AmeriCorps members, and noted the importance of fostering partnerships between nonprofits, corporations, governments and programs such as AmeriCorps across Texas.

We are very grateful to Representative Naishtat and the Texas House of Representatives for their support of AmeriCorps*Texas and AmeriCorps Week!
