| community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Meeting regularly over the course of a nine-month | ||
| period, participants of Leadership Mission further develop their | ||

| University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley, as well as contributions to | ||
| the Christmas Bikes initiative; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Leadership Mission awards scholarships each session | ||
| to members who are in college and who successfully complete the LM | ||
| program; to raise funds for these scholarships, class projects, and | ||
| the annual legislative trip, members participate in fundraisers | ||
| such as the popular Leadership Mission Golf Tournament and Turkey | ||
| Bowl Tournament; over the years, Leadership Mission has also given | ||
| back to the community by volunteering for the Back to School | ||
| shopping event, National Night Out, the Mission Pink Walk/Run for | ||
| Breast Cancer Awareness & Treatment, the Mayor's Christmas Tree | ||
| Lighting Ceremony, the Mission Community Health and Wellness Fair, | ||

| citizenry and developing new leaders, Leadership Mission is helping | ||
| create a brighter and more promising future for the Lone Star State; | ||
