| WHEREAS, Bellaire Little League celebrated the 70th | ||
| anniversary of its founding as part of its 2023 opening day | ||
| ceremonies on March 4; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Each spring, hundreds of young athletes ages 4 to 12 | ||

| values such as loyalty, dedication, teamwork, and good | ||
| sportsmanship; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the years, Bellaire Little League has enjoyed | ||

| commemorated on the Bellaire water tower; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This community-based, volunteer-powered | ||
| organization has benefited from the contributions of numerous area | ||
| residents since it was first established; today, that tradition of | ||
| service is being carried on by the league's board of directors under | ||
| the leadership of current president Sam Dagley, as well the many | ||
| other individuals who donate their time and talents to make BLL a | ||
| success; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By providing young people of all skill levels with a | ||
| valuable recreational outlet and introducing them to the | ||
| character-building opportunities presented by athletic | ||
| competition, Bellaire Little League has made an important and | ||
| positive difference in the lives of countless young Texans; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 70th anniversary of Bellaire | ||
| Little League and extend to all those associated with the league | ||
| sincere appreciation for their efforts; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the league as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
