|
||
| WHEREAS, The Junior League of Midland is celebrating 75 years | ||
| of service to the community in 2024; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Originally known as the Midland Service League, the | ||
| Junior League of Midland was founded in 1949 with the mission to | ||
| advance women's leadership through volunteer action, | ||
| collaboration, and training; in 1964, it was officially admitted as | ||
| the 195th league in the Association of Junior Leagues, and over the | ||
| years, it has amassed an impressive record of community service and | ||
| supported countless individuals and families in need; today, the | ||
| organization counts nearly 600 members who annually donate more | ||
| than 16,000 hours of service; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Among its many initiatives, the Junior League offers | ||
| an after-school reading program at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the | ||
| Permian Basin in Midland, and it holds weekly workshops as part of | ||
| its Suits with Skills project, which provides job-skills mentoring | ||
| for female survivors of domestic abuse; in 2017, the organization | ||
| partnered with Communities in Schools of the Permian Basin to | ||
| create IMPACT yearlong mentoring programming for local at-risk | ||
| students; moreover, the group's most recent endeavor, Pink Pantry, | ||
| provides feminine and basic hygiene supplies to students at several | ||
| Midland Independent School District schools; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the past 75 years, the people of Midland have | ||
| been fortunate to benefit from the far-reaching contributions of | ||
| the Junior League, and it is a pleasure to join in honoring the | ||
| group's proud tradition of leadership, service, and civic | ||
| engagement; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby commend the Junior League of Midland for its exemplary | ||
| record of service and that all those associated with the | ||
| organization be extended sincere best wishes for continued success | ||
| with their important work; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Junior League of Midland as an expression of high | ||
| regard by the Texas House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
