Effective: April 29, 2000
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1863
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � A� Resolution honoring certain Senate employees.
� � � Be it resolved:�That the 40 members of the 2000 Senate express their ap-
preciation to Senate Secretary Pat Saville and her staff for their tireless efforts
on our behalf. They are strictly nonpartisan. They work fast. They work with a
smile. Their work continues long after we leave following a day of debating and
voting on bills and amendments. Although we appreciate their efforts, we don't
always remember to say so.
� � � With apologies to the Reverend Fred Hollomon:
Who agrees to your request with a smile, and keeps on working all the while?
� � �
Who knows Senate rules and when you err, tells you gently and with care?
� � �
Who makes you look good in the chair?
� � �
Who hosts a luncheon every year, for Senate staff and leaders dear?
� � �
Who reminds you that your "explanation of vote" must be on a limited note?
� � �
Who tells her staff to get it right, or else they will be here all night?
� � �
Whose staff knows they will be here all night, even if they get it right?
� � �
The Senate Secretary and her staff, that's who!�!�!�!�!
� � � Close enough for government work is not close enough for this team.
� � � Congratulations and thank you to Senate Secretary Pat Saville and her ex-
cellent staff, including Assistant Secretary Sandy Sadowski, and Marcena
Absher, Joy Firestone, Thelma Haefner, Ralph Hamblin, Carol Kirkwood,
Brenda Kling, Helen Moreland, Martha Ozias, Carol Parrett, Betty Quarn-
strom, Judeanna Simnitt and Genny Tebben.
