	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 712
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize the Students In Free Enterprise team from Central Texas
	College in Killeen, which recently won its 15th consecutive
	regional championship; and
	WHEREAS, Students In Free Enterprise is an international
	nonprofit organization that works with leaders in business and
	higher education to encourage college students to make a
	difference in their communities while developing the skills
	necessary to become socially responsible business leaders; and
	WHEREAS, Teams are judged on their ability to make a
	difference in their community by most effectively empowering
	people in need; each team prepared a written report and an oral
	multimedia presentation to demonstrate how they had applied
	business and economic concepts and an entrepreneurial approach
	to improve the quality of life and standard of living for
	children, college students, and citizens at large; and
	WHEREAS, The team from Central Texas College offered
	several activities for the competition, including Project
	Building Lives, a series of workshops and classes to help people
	budget their food dollars and prepare cost-effective meals;
	Project Rise, a mentorship program to assist at-risk youth; and
	Project Upgrade, a series of workshops to help people better
	their chances of finding employment, prepare for college, and
	improve financial literacy; and
	WHEREAS, By winning the regional competition, which
	included teams from 26 other colleges and universities, the team
	from Central Texas College earned the right to advance to the
	Students In Free Enterprise National Exposition in Minnesota;
	team members are truly deserving of recognition for their hard
	work and their many contributions to the community; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
	Legislature, hereby extend congratulations to the Students In
	Free Enterprise team from Central Texas College on its 15th
	consecutive regional championship; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	the team as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
	Fraser
