| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program for its | ||
| outstanding work in helping prepare the young people of Texas to | ||
| become productive members of society; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program | ||
| traces its roots to the Jack County Boys Corn Club, which was | ||
| founded in 1908 by Thomas M. Marks to teach young boys improved | ||
| methods of growing corn; other early forerunners include the | ||
| Milam County Girls Tomato Club and efforts in Waller County to | ||
| offer opportunities for African American children to learn to | ||
| supplement their families' diets by growing vegetables and | ||
| raising poultry; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, Texas 4-H is conducted by the Texas | ||
| AgriLife Extension Service and the Prairie View A&M Cooperative | ||
| Extension Program and it provides young people with | ||
| opportunities to learn and practice life skills, develop strong | ||
| character, and improve their readiness for college and the | ||
| workplace; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The 4-H pledge and motto encourage wise and | ||
| productive use of the four Hs, which stand for head, heart, | ||
| hands, and health; through the years the millions of young people | ||
| in Texas who have taken advantage of 4-H programs have enriched | ||
| their own lives and have contributed significantly to our state | ||
| and our nation; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the Texas 4-H and Youth Development | ||
| Program on its many contributions to the young people of Texas | ||
| and extend to its members and volunteers best wishes for | ||
| continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
