their full potential as productive, responsible, and
caring citizens; and
WHEREAS, Evidence-based and proven effective, the programs

healthier self-image, as well as improved educational, emotional,

communities, Boys & Girls Clubs have long made a positive and
lasting difference in the lives of young Texans, and they are indeed
deserving of recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby recognize April 9, 2013, as Boys & Girls Clubs
