caring citizens; and |

|
WHEREAS, Through the years, Boys & Girls Clubs have |
|
encouraged young people to aspire to the highest level of personal |

involved in these important organizations at this time; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
