|
|
by providing youth between the ages of 2 and 19 with opportunities |
|
|
related to leadership development, volunteer service, |
|
|
philanthropic giving, and civic duty; the organization is composed |
|
|
of children and adult family members, and its programming includes |
|
|
service projects, lobbying, educational development, and the |
|
|
coordination of community and charitable events; today, it works |
|
|
with more than 50,000 members in 271 chapters nationwide; and |

|
|
Region, which currently encompasses 38 chapters across Texas, New |
|
|
Mexico, and Louisiana; the region serves 2,116 mothers and 1,827 |
|
|
fathers, as well as 1,360 associates and life members, and its |
|
|
programs are attended by 1,996 children and 2,011 teenagers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The South Central Region of Jack and Jill of America |
|
|
has helped shape generations of leaders in the Lone Star State and |
|
|
beyond, and the organization's invaluable contributions are indeed |
|
|
worthy of recognition on this special occasion; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 7, 2025, as Jack and Jill of |

|
with the organization's South Central Region sincere best wishes |
|
