WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the ABC Pro Rodeo in Lubbock on the grand occasion of | ||
the event's 75th anniversary; and | ||
WHEREAS, The ABC Pro Rodeo began in 1942 as an endeavor of | ||
the Lubbock Downtown Chapter of the American Business Clubs, | ||
commonly known as "AMBUCS," to bring Boys and Girls Club branches | ||
to the region; and | ||
WHEREAS, The rodeo serves as the chapter's biggest | ||
fund-raiser; in addition to funding the construction of the | ||
community's first Boys and Girls Club, the event has raised more | ||
than $1.5 million for the day-to-day operations of three local | ||
clubs and has raised more than $1 million for local charities and | ||
support groups; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Lubbock Downtown Chapter of the American | ||
Business Clubs is committed to the organization's national | ||
mission to create independent lifestyles for people with | ||
disabilities; chapter members are hardworking individuals who | ||
are motivated by the desire to improve the quality of life in | ||
Lubbock, and over the years, the ABC Pro Rodeo has enabled them to | ||
continually fulfill their mission of service to their community; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend all associated with the Lubbock | ||
Downtown Chapter of the American Business Clubs and the ABC Pro | ||
Rodeo for their outstanding work on behalf of the children of | ||
Lubbock and extend to them best wishes for a memorable 75th | ||
anniversary event; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in their | ||
honor as an expression of high esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
