SENATE RESOLUTION

By Senators Baumgartner, Schoesler, Padden, Smith, Billig, and Holmquist Newbry

WHEREAS, The annual Spokane Lilac Festival is a favored tradition of the people of Spokane County and the Inland Northwest; and

WHEREAS, 2013 marks the 75th anniversary of the Spokane Lilac Festival, which embraces the theme of "Lilac Legacy--Alive at 75"; and

WHEREAS, The Lilac Festival began in 1938 under the guidance of the Associated Garden Clubs and the Spokane Floral Association as a way to celebrate the beautiful Lilac City, Spokane, and its growing popularity as a Washington destination; and

WHEREAS, In 1950, after the establishment of Armed Forces Day, the 92nd Bomb Wing of Geiger Field joined the festival parade as the official color guard of the Lilac Festival. This partnership with the Armed Forces continues today and is the nation's largest Armed Forces Parade; and

WHEREAS, The missions and goals of the Spokane Lilac Festival are to honor local military personnel, recognize outstanding area youth, showcase and celebrate Spokane and the Inland Northwest community, foster goodwill with other Northwest communities, give our youth and local organizations in the area an opportunity to display their abilities and talents, and act as a business stimulus both during the festival and throughout the year; and

WHEREAS, The Spokane Lilac Festival, a nonprofit organization operated entirely by volunteers, provides over 18,000 dollars in scholarships to members of the Royalty program and trains the members of the Royalty program in speech, military protocol, etiquette, self-defense, intercultural exchange, modeling, and the importance of volunteerism; and

WHEREAS, The volunteer aspect of the Spokane Lilac Festival continues to expand each year with projects such as visiting and serving at area hospitals, including Shriners Hospital for Children, veterans centers, retirement centers, and homeless shelters; reading at elementary schools, including Read Across America; participating in the Salvation Army's Clothe-a-Child program; working at Santa Express, a fund-raising arm of the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery; supporting the airmen and airwomen at Fairchild Air Force Base through Operation Cookie Drop; and participating in Make-a-Wish, Bloomsday, and the Associated Garden Club Annual Plant Sale; and

WHEREAS, Each year, thousands of volunteer hours are donated to the success of the festival including the "Lilac Loons" who discretely paint lilac blossoms on numerous streets and intersections to promote the festival, the "Float Toads" who design, build, and decorate each year's float, the "Parade Krewe" who oversee and produce the nation's largest Armed Forces Torchlight Parade, and the "Purple Coaters" who make up the Board of Directors of the festival and along with the Royalty Court serve as ambassadors to over 20 outlying parades and festivals each year; and

WHEREAS, This year's Festival Royalty Court includes Queen Brett Rountree of Central Valley High School and Princesses Katie Heitkemper of Lewis and Clark High School, Devyn Russell of Northwest Christian High School, Michelle Tatko of Ferris High School, Hailey Hyde of Saint George's High School, Emily Staker of Gonzaga Prep, and Savannah Sundseth of Mead High School;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate recognize and honor the many contributions made to our state by the Spokane Lilac Festival, its organizers both past and present, and the Royalty Courts for the past seventy-five years; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be immediately transmitted by the Secretary of the Senate to the 2013 Lilac Festival Officers and the Festival Royalty Court.

Senators Baumgartner, Billig and Smith spoke in favor of adoption of the resolution.

The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of Senate Resolution No. 8646.

The motion by Senator Baumgartner carried and the resolution was adopted by voice vote.

INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS

The President welcomed and introduced Queen Brett Rountree, Central Valley High School, the City of Spokane’s 2013 Lilac Festival Queen who was seated at the rostrum.

REMARKS BY MISS BRETT ROUNTREE

Miss Brett Rountree: “Good morning, Mr. President, members of the Washington State Senate, guests, family and friends. My name is Brett Rountree and I have the distinct privilege of being the 2013 Spokane Lilac Festival Queen. It’s a huge honor to be here today on behalf of the Spokane Lilac Festival. So far in my brief time as queen I’ve learned that my job goes so far deeper than just wearing a crown and waving in a parade. Every event in which the Royal Court and I participate reflects some portion of the Lilac Festival mission statement: Honoring our military; Recognizing our youth; and Showcasing Spokane in our region throughout the Northwest and beyond. Yes, we do have a parade. As you heard earlier it’s the largest Armed Forces Torchlight Parade in the country. But what sets our festival apart is our commitment to the military and this commitment, it doesn’t begin and end on the third Saturday in May. This past Christmas, for example, we bagged hundreds of cookies for ‘Operation Cookie Drop.’ These bags were given to Fairchild Airmen who wouldn’t be going home for the holidays. We spent time talking to Fairchild Air Force Base officers and enlisted airmen, reading to first and second graders at Michael Anderson Elementary, touring the maintenance and medical facility as well as the base tower. We were also given the opportunity to see a static display of K-135 and, later, discover what it felt like to fly that plane while refueling another plane in the flight simulator. And most recently we attended 92nd Air Refueling Wing Command Chief Rudy Lopez’s retirement ceremony. At every turn we saw the men and women of Fairchild giving of themselves to offer us the freedoms that we take for granted every day. Now, early on in our Royal journey we were challenged to reflect on the quote by James Fraude, ‘The essence of true nobility is neglect itself.’ This statement has become our personal guide. We have done a lot of volunteering around Spokane including serving with Santa Express which is the fundraising arm of the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery. We helped underprivileged children pick out clothing during Salvation Army Cloth a Child. We served dinner at the Union Gospel Mission. We’ve read to elementary schools everywhere in Spokane during ‘Read Across America.’ We’ve also been given the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at the Spokane Veterans Home as well as all four State B National Boys Basketball Games. But my favorite, a little while ago we teamed up with Make A Wish Foundation and we were able to fulfill a little girl with a terminally ill disease, to fulfill her princess dreams and she was granted a trip to Walt Disney World. The Spokane Lilac Festival and the Royal Court are Spokane’s ambassadors as we travel during the parade season but most of our parades are right here in Washington and we would love it to see most of you at one of those parades and for a second year in a row, our role as ambassadors is taking us wide and far. After last year’s successful trip to Jilin City in China, this year we are going to be joining the 2013 Lilac President Christine Leva as well as Mayor David Condon on a trip to Limerick Ireland. But, before we do any traveling we have a parade to do so now I would like to personally invite all of you to the Spokane Lilac Festival Parade, Seventy Fifty Diamond Anniversary, Saturday, May 18 to experience the Lilac legacy for yourself. Alive at seventy five. Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity today and for the recognition and honor of the Spokane Lilac Festival.”

INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS

The President welcomed and introduced the members of the Lilac Festival Royal Court: Princess Devyn Russell, Northwest Christian High School; Princess Hailey Hyde, Saint George’s High School; and Princess Savannah Sundseth, Mead High School and representatives of the Spokane Lilac Festival Association: Mrs. Christine Leva, 2013 President; Mrs. Claire Patton, 2012 First Lady and Chaperone; Ms. Shelley Sholl, Chaperone; Ms. Keisha Rountree, Queen Mum and Chaperone who were present in the gallery and recognized by the Senate.
