	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Student participants and supporters of Hugh O'Brian
	Youth Leadership of North Texas are gathering on June 8, 2013, to
	celebrate HOBY Texas North Service Day, and this special observance
	provides a fitting opportunity to recognize this outstanding
	organization; and
	WHEREAS, Created in 1958 by film star Hugh O'Brian, HOBY has
	motivated over 400,000 young people to work over 14,000 hours for
	positive change in their homes, schools, and communities; HOBY
	seeks to promote democracy and free enterprise while encouraging
	social responsibility and does not endorse any particular political
	or religious agenda; the organization's programs are conducted
	throughout the United States and abroad, and the North Texas
	chapter was incorporated in 1982; and
	WHEREAS, HOBY focuses on students at the sophomore level of
	high school, and individuals are nominated by their schools for
	participation; in the course of completing the program, young
	people learn the values of volunteerism, integrity, excellence,
	diversity, and community partnership; HOBY graduates emerge with a
	better understanding of what it takes to succeed as a compassionate
	and innovative leader in today's global society; and
	WHEREAS, Hosted this year by The University of Texas at
	Arlington, HOBY Texas North Service Day results in approximately
	1,000 hours of community service to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and
	the students and organizers participating in this event are indeed
	worthy of commendation; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby honor Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership of North
	Texas and extend to all those involved with HOBY Texas North sincere
	best wishes for a memorable service day and continued success; and,
	be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
