A LEGISLATIVE COMMEMORATION,
Commending and honoring Michelle Sanger for receiving
the Prudential Spirit of Community Award for being one of the top volunteers in South Dakota.
WHEREAS,
Michelle Sanger, an esteemed resident of Redfield and a student at Redfield High
School, has achieved national recognition for exemplary volunteer service by receiving a 2007
Prudential Spirit of Community Award. This award is presented by Prudential Financial in
partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals to honor young volunteers
across America who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to serving their communities;
and
WHEREAS,
Michelle Sanger earned this award by giving generously of her time and energy to
volunteer missions to Nicaragua and Cambodia to aid impoverished people. Michelle helped raise
money and collect supplies before her trips and then assisted with medical, education, water, and
other projects to improve the lives of poor Nicaraguans and Cambodians; and
WHEREAS,
the success of the State of South Dakota, the strength of our communities, and the
overall vitality of American society depend, in great measure, upon the dedication of young people
like Michelle Sanger who use their considerable talents and resources to serve others:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT COMMEMORATED,
by the Eighty-second Legislature of the State
of South Dakota, that Michelle Sanger be commended and honored as a recipient of the Prudential
Spirit of Community Award, and for her outstanding record of volunteer service, leadership, and
community spirit.
