WHEREAS, The Texas 4-H Youth Development Program has | ||
provided invaluable experience-based training for young people | ||
across the Lone Star State, and many 4-H members are gathering in | ||
Austin on March 14, 2019, in celebration of 4-H Day at the State | ||
Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established as an agricultural club in Jack | ||
County in 1908, 4-H is now the largest youth development program | ||
in the state, with more than 522,000 students from every Texas | ||
county taking part each year; the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension | ||
Service and the Prairie View A&M Cooperative Extension Program | ||
administer the program and are assisted by more than 27,000 | ||
trained volunteers; and | ||
WHEREAS, The organization's name stands for Head, Heart, | ||
Hands, and Health, reflecting different aspects of an individual's | ||
personal and social responsibilities; guided by the motto "to make | ||
the best better," today's clubs emphasize leadership, citizenship, | ||
and strong character, help members acquire valuable life skills, | ||
and foster readiness for college and the workplace; participants | ||
can engage in projects related not only to agriculture but also | ||
science, engineering, technology, natural resources, and healthy | ||
lifestyles; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since its inception, 4-H has enriched the lives of | ||
countless youths across the Lone Star State, and the program's | ||
alumni have gone on to make a lasting, positive difference in | ||
their communities and beyond; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize March 14, 2019, as 4-H Day at the | ||
State Capitol and extend to all those in attendance sincere best | ||
wishes for a memorable and informative event. | ||
