Session of 1999
SENATE RESOLUTION No. 1858
A Resolution in support of Kids for a Brighter Future, Inc.
WHEREAS, Kids for a Brighter Future, Inc. is a nonprofit organiza-
tion established by Mr. and Mrs. Dean A. Newton to establish and oversee
programs designed to help children in the Kansas City area; and
WHEREAS, This organization is currently working with administra-
tors and individuals in the Kansas City school district to establish a pro-
gram called ``Project Computer.'' Project Computer is an attempt to en-
hance the level of technology available to children in the school district
by facilitating the donation of used computers from individuals and com-
panies in Kansas. The goal of this project is to obtain at least 500 Pentium
computers for use in the classroom by the beginning of the 1999-2000
school year; and
WHEREAS, It is essential that Kansas City's children acquire the
computer skills necessary to succeed in our increasingly global and tech-
nological world. Unfortunately, there are not enough modern computers
in the schools to help Kansas City's children sufficiently learn these val-
uable computer skills: Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Kansas: That we support
the objective of Project Computer and urge Kansas individuals and com-
panies to contribute unneeded computers to Kids for a Brighter Future,
Inc. for use in Kansas City schools; and
Be it further resolved: That the Secretary of the Senate be directed
to provide an enrolled copy of this resolution to Dean A. Newton, c/o
Sonnenschein, Nath and Rosenthal, Suite 1100, 4520 Main, Kansas City,
Missouri 64111.
