spirit, enthusiasm, and principles of Rotary International and 
are currently working on numerous projects that include 
sponsoring a Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Camp and a Rotary 
Diabetic Camp for boys and girls, clubs for high school and 
college students, scholarships, and literacy projects; their


international projects include providing food, medicines, and 
school supplies to Mexico; and
	WHEREAS, Rotary International is an exemplary 
organization, and it is indeed appropriate that the clubs of 
District 5730 be recognized on this momentous occasion; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby commend the Rotarians of District 5730
