| WHEREAS, A dedicated group of high school students in San | ||
| Patricio County are making valuable contributions as part of the | ||
| Texas 4-H Livestock Ambassador Program, and their efforts are | ||
| indeed deserving of recognition; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Texas 4-H Livestock Ambassador Program provides | ||
| an opportunity for high-school-age members of the organization to | ||

| WHEREAS, In January 2013, the San Patricio County 4-H | ||
| Livestock Ambassadors held the Extra Special Livestock Show at the | ||

| needs; individuals from six area school districts took part in the | ||
| show, as well as students from George West in Live Oak County; more | ||
| than 60 participants got the chance to show lambs and goats, and all | ||
| received ribbons to commemorate their achievement; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The 10 San Patricio County 4-H Livestock Ambassadors | ||
| are Kelsey Robinette, Corrina Mendez, Daniel Cullison, Jared | ||
| Cullison, and Allison Vanecek of Gregory-Portland High School, | ||
| Kristen Ulch of Aransas Pass High School, Allison Surginer and | ||
| Jillian Williams of Sinton High School, and Luke Person of Mathis | ||
| and Kellie Lopez of Ingleside, who are home-schooled; Texas | ||
| AgriLife Extension agent Adrian Arredondo and sponsor Janna Whatley | ||
| guide the group and help members meet their goals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The San Patricio County 4-H Livestock Ambassadors | ||
| are benefiting their fellow residents while gaining valuable | ||
| experience that will aid them in the coming years, and they may | ||
| reflect with pride on their many accomplishments; now, therefore, | ||
| be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby recognize the San Patricio County 4-H Livestock | ||
| Ambassadors for their work in the community and extend to them | ||
| sincere best wishes for 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. | ||
