RESOLUTION 25/04/25

On this twenty-Fourth Day of April, 2025-in the spirit of "The Great Wherea= s" and driven by haste and the urgency of being on time for the coming cele= bration-I do hereby submit for consideration, by all who will read or hear,=  the following resolution:

WHEREAS, Friday, April 25, 2025, marks what is generally understood to be t= he diamond or perhaps what some might recognize as the "platinum" anniversa= ry of the birth of one Karen Jean Sharp Chandler McDonald, hereinafter refe= rred to simply as "Karen" unless otherwise noted, and also known occasional= ly and affectionately as "Babbie" or "The Bab"; and

WHEREAS, Karen's life has, from its beginning, been fueled, inspired and gu= ided by music in its many expressions and manifestations-listening, sharing= , studying, performing, and seeking music in all things; and

WHEREAS, Karen's life itself stands much like an epic piece of music-a suit= e containing many melodies and rhythms, reflecting such beautiful and compl= ex themes as a passion for basic justice and opportunity for those long opp= ressed and denied; a voracious appetite for literature;  enthusiasm for the=  benefits and challenges of technology; a growing taste for the preparation=  and enjoyment of satisfying food; and many generous expressions of nurturi= ng love as a friend, mother, grandmother, and wife; and

WHEREAS, the "music" of Karen's life brings joy, comfort, direction, encour= agement, and love into more lives than she will ever know: Now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED by all who know and care that April 25, 2025, be proclaimed,=  recognized, and celebrated as Bab Friday and that subsequent days be duly = observed as BabFest for as many days as the energy and spirit of the event = feel appropriate; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that appropriate celebrations of Bab Friday and BabF= est might include but not necessarily be limited to recalling and recognizi= ng the role(s) that Karen might have played in your life; singing, playing,=  or listening to one of her favorite songs; promising yourself to read a bo= ok in her honor; reaching out to her with a card, letter, phone call, text,=  email, or Facebook message; making a commitment to the just cause of your = choice; or enjoying a hamburger; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Karen's memories of Bab Friday, 2025, remain as=  precious as the stone that symbolizes the occasion.
