| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Cameron Lions Club on the grand occasion of the | ||
| organization's 100th anniversary; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Chartered on September 26, 1923, the Cameron | ||
| Lions Club represents District 2-S3 for Lions Clubs | ||
| International, which is the world's largest service club | ||
| organization and includes 1.4 million members in more than 47,000 | ||
| clubs worldwide; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For 100 years, the Cameron Lions Club has served | ||
| and strengthened the city of Cameron and its residents through | ||
| numerous service projects and philanthropic activities and has | ||
| supported both the efforts of the Lions Clubs International and | ||
| those of such local organizations as the Cameron Boy Scouts of | ||
| America and the Cameron Chamber of Commerce; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Drawing on Helen Keller's 1925 call to be "knights | ||
| of the blind in a crusade against darkness," Lions Clubs have | ||
| long been committed to promoting vision care and to providing | ||
| resources and support for those affected by blindness or vision | ||
| challenges; the Cameron Lions Club has steadfastly upheld this | ||
| mission by providing vision screenings and eyeglasses to the | ||
| students of Cameron Independent School District and to children | ||
| in surrounding areas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The members of the Cameron Lions Club have also | ||
| devoted themselves to enhancing public recreation and community | ||
| beautification in Cameron, and members are donating $200,000 to | ||
| the city for the redevelopment of one of the city's parks, which | ||
| will be renamed in honor of the club; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Cameron Lions Club has served the community | ||
| with great dedication, and over the past century, its members | ||
| have helped to nurture an environment of altruism and service in | ||
| the city of Cameron; it is indeed fitting that this outstanding | ||
| organization receive special recognition for its exemplary work; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby commend the members of | ||
| the Cameron Lions Club on the club's 100th anniversary and on | ||
| their many outstanding contributions to the community and extend | ||
| to all best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the Cameron Lions Club in honor of this special occasion. | ||
