PROCLAMATION NO. 2008-07
Celebrating June 6, 2008, as the 100,000th meal Marriott Solana has
prepared for Metroport Meals On Wheels
WHEREAS, on April 1, 1980, Roanoke Meals On Wheels was born when Kelly Bradley
assembled a group of people who began cooking in their homes to deliver five meals to elderly
residents in Roanoke; and
WHEREAS, in February, 1992, the Marriott Solana Hotel became the centralized kitchen
for Roanoke Meals On Wheels and began serving 10 meals a day for Roanoke seniors; and
WHEREAS, by 1995, the organization had become Metroport Meals On Wheels and the
Marriott Solana was providing 60 meals a day that were delivered to seniors in eight communities plus
a weekly meal for Metroport's Senior Center luncheon in Southlake; and
WHEREAS, Marriott Solana has provided continuous service to Metroport Meals On
Wheels since 1992 at a nominal cost of $2.00. The Marriott Solana enabled Metroport Meals On
Wheels to meet an otherwise unrecognized need to feed hungry senior citizens in our area. Because
of the Marriott Solana's involvement, more people became aware of Metroport Meals On Wheels' meal
programs and volunteered to help deliver meals; and
WHEREAS, In addition to providing food for meals, the Marriott Solana's employees
embraced Metroport Meals On Wheels' mission and expanded its capacity to serve seniors. From the
General Managers, to the Food and Beverage Directors, to the Chefs, to Cielo's hostesses over the
past sixteen years, Marriott Solana's commitment to Metroport Meals On Wheels and seniors citizens
has been exemplary; and
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Nick Sanders, Mayor of the Town of Trophy club, Texas, do
hereby proclaim and celebrate June 6, 2008, as: "the 100,000'h meal Marriott Solana has prepared for
Metroport Meals On Wheels," and recognize Marriott Solana for its corporate citizenship.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the Town Council of the Town of Trophy Club, Texas this
