changes in the lives of many, and our younger citizens can play an |
|
|
important role in shaping the future of our society; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Lubbock's Outstanding Teen 2007 Hillary Sproul is |
|
|
committed to enhancing her community through volunteer service; |
|
|
believing that there is no greater source of energy than that of a |

|
|
to serve their fellow citizens; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Emphasizing networking and problem-solving skills, |

understanding while developing civic leadership and social |
|
|
entrepreneurship in our younger generation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The future of our state, the strength of our |

|
considerable talents and resources to serve others, and this |
|
|
important initiative may indeed contribute to a brighter future for |
|
|
all Texans; now, therefore, be it |
