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.
