| 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. | ||
