|
|
|

|
|
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 |
|
|
