1-1 WHEREAS, For 92 years the 4-H Youth Development Program of
1-2 the Texas Agricultural Extension Service has provided invaluable
1-3 experience-based education to youth across the Lone Star State; and
1-4 WHEREAS, This admirable program, which seeks to create a
1-5 learning experience that is stimulating and satisfying to all
1-6 aspects of a child's nature, also helps young Texans to acquire
1-7 knowledge, develop life skills, and form attitudes that will enable
1-8 them to become self-directed and productive members of society; and
1-9 WHEREAS, With over one million participants ranging in age
1-10 from eight to 19, the 4-H program boasts a membership that resides
1-11 in urban, suburban, and rural communities, hails from diverse
1-12 ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, and is truly a representative
1-13 cross-section of the state; and
1-14 WHEREAS, The extraordinary success of the 4-H program owes
1-15 much to the service of its more than 55,000 volunteers, who have
1-16 given generously of their time, talents, energies, and resources to
1-17 benefit Texas youth; and
1-18 WHEREAS, Throughout its proud history, the 4-H program has
1-19 helped develop young Texans into role models by providing
1-20 activities that build character and instill strong values, and the
1-21 organization is indeed worthy of special legislative recognition at
1-22 this time; now, therefore, be it
1-23 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
1-24 Legislature hereby recognize February 27, 2001, as 4-H Day in Texas
