WHEREAS, eight years ago, Howard and Barbara Konetchy formed the charitable organization
“Cookie Commandoes”, and
WHEREAS, for the past eight years, Cookie Commandoes of Sun City have given unselfishly of
their cooking skills, time, money and vehicles by baking over 100 dozen cookies every week and
transporting them to Fort Hood for soldiers being deployed to war zones in the middle east; and
WHEREAS, the 100 men and women who made up the Cookie Commandoes dedicated
themselves and their work to make the troops being processed a little easier by providing
homemade cookies; and
WHEREAS, Howard and Barbara Konetchy lead the Cookie Commandoes in their effort to
deliver homemade goodies to these brave men and women who were far from home, and facing
deployment to the middle east war zone; and
WHEREAS, by providing the kinds of foods that reminded our troops of home, the Konetchys
and the Cookie Commandoes brought comfort and made their hours of processing easier to bear;
and
WHEREAS, Howard and Barbara Konetchy are deserving of special recognition for their great
work and outstanding leadership for the past eight years.
