 1-1           WHEREAS, For more than a decade, members of the Cut-N-Shoot
 1-2     Harley Owner's Group have been a notable presence in their East
 1-3     Texas community, and these spirited individualists are most
 1-4     deserving of special recognition; and
 1-5           WHEREAS, Based in the town of Cut and Shoot in Montgomery
 1-6     County, the Harley Owner's Group (HOG) includes nearly 1,000
 1-7     members from across Southeast Texas; united by a common love of
 1-8     their Harleys, these men and women formed their organization not
 1-9     only to share the fun of motorcycle riding, but also to encourage
1-10     safety and to support numerous worthwhile civic initiatives; and
1-11           WHEREAS, Sponsors of the innovative "Ride to Read" program
1-12     that encourages students to meet their reading goals by rewarding
1-13     them with short motorcycle rides, members of the Cut-N-Shoot Harley
1-14     Owner's Group have established themselves as committed advocates
1-15     for area children; the group annually holds a Back to School Supply
1-16     Run, raising funds to purchase school supplies for nearby Austin
1-17     Elementary School, and is an active supporter of Montgomery County
1-18     Child Protective Services; and
1-19           WHEREAS, Among the many other organizations that benefit from
1-20     the Cut-N-Shoot HOG's  hard work are the Montgomery County Food
1-21     Bank and the county's battered women's shelter; furthermore, these
1-22     ardent bikers have taken on an additional endeavor by participating
1-23     in the Adopt-a-Highway program and committing to maintaining a
1-24     two-mile stretch of Highway 105 that runs through the city; and
 2-1           WHEREAS, The members of the Cut-N-Shoot Harley Owner's Group
 2-2     are a tribute to the organization's motto, "The most active chapter
 2-3     in all of HOGdom, and proud of it," and they are most deserving of
 2-4     special recognition; now, therefore, be it
 2-5           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
 2-6     Legislature hereby commend the members of the Cut-N-Shoot Harley
 2-7     Owner's Group for their significant civic contributions and extend
 2-8     to them sincere best wishes for continued success in all of their
 2-9     future endeavors.
