  the 10th anniversary of their organization's founding throughout
  2011; and
         WHEREAS, Open to young men in their junior or senior year of
  high school, the Bellaire MENS Club was established as a

  the nonprofit group have taken part in a wide variety of charitable
  activities to benefit residents of southwestern Houston; and
         WHEREAS, Participants in the many initiatives of the BMC
  learn valuable business and organizational skills while assisting

  car wash that collects donations of canned goods from customers;
  the annual BMC Battle of the Bands Charity Concert typically draws
  more than 1,000 students, family members, and citizens from all
  over Houston and has raised nearly $12,000 for such charities as
  Child Advocates, the Star of Hope Mission, and the Wounded Warrior
  Project; in addition, the BMC conducts an annual toy drive in behalf
  of the Gabriela Mistral Center for Early Childhood and has hosted a
  senior prom for the residents of the Seven Acres/Medallion
  retirement home, among other endeavors; and
         WHEREAS, Over the past decade, thousands of members of the
  Bellaire MENS Club have gained an appreciation for the value of
  community service while making a positive impact in the lives of
  others, and it is indeed fitting to recognize the noteworthy
  contributions of this outstanding organization at this time; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commemorate the 10th
  anniversary of the establishment of the Bellaire MENS Club and
  extend sincere best wishes for continued success to all those
  associated with the group; and, be it further
