WHEREAS, Members of the Bellaire MENS Club are celebrating | ||
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 | ||
philanthropic service organization on January 22, 2001; members of | ||
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 | ||
worthy causes; each year, the group donates more than 1,500 pounds | ||
of food to the Houston Food Bank, and its service projects include a | ||
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 | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Bellaire MENS Club as an expression of high regard | ||
by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
