Honoring
Flat Rock Homes on its One Hundred Sixtieth Anniversary.
WHEREAS,
The members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio are
pleased to congratulate Flat Rock Homes on the auspicious occasion of
its One Hundred Sixtieth Anniversary; and
WHEREAS,
Recognition of this prestigious milestone is, indeed, a fitting
tribute to Flat Rock Homes, for since its inception, it has attained
a remarkable record of service. Founded in Tiffin to care for young
people orphaned by the Civil War, the former Ebenezer Orphan
Institute opened its first home with twelve children in 1866,
establishing a campus near Flat Rock two years later, but as the
number of war orphans dwindled, it transitioned to developmental
disability care by 1978. Today, this fine organization provides
faith-based services for individuals with developmental disabilities
and their families throughout Erie, Huron, Lorain, Seneca, and
Sandusky counties, helping each person live with dignity, connection,
and joy, and its accomplishments are a justifiable source of pride
and an outstanding reflection not only on the agency itself but also
on its hard-working staff and volunteers and on the community; and
WHEREAS,
Over the past sixteen decades, Flat Rock Homes has enhanced the
quality of life within the surrounding area, and its generous
contributions have earned it the gratitude and respect of many. We
are certain that as it maintains its unfaltering dedication to
service and achievement, it will continue in the tradition of
excellence that has long been its hallmark; and
WHEREAS,
We are proud to note that it is through the unceasing efforts of
organizations such as Flat Rock Homes that Ohio has gained a
reputation as a state that is responsive to the needs of its citizens
and has remained a pleasant place in which to live and work. It is
truly deserving of high praise; therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend Flat Rock Homes on its One
Hundred Sixtieth Anniversary and extend best wishes for ongoing
success; and be it further
RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of
this Resolution to Flat Rock Homes.
