Session 2000
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.
