WHEREAS, Jonathan Kamenetsky of Waco, a member of Boy Scouts |
|
|
of America Troop No. 453, has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and |
|
|
this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Receiving the Eagle Scout badge is a significant |
|
|
honor, bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the |
|
|
scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding |
|
|
criteria, "Yoni" Kamenetsky earned the requisite 21 merit badges |
|
|
and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project in which he, |
|
|
along with other members of his troop, built and installed a |
|
|
map-housing structure at a cemetery in Waco; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Eva and Harold Kamenetsky, this fine |
|
|
young Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability |
|
|
throughout his scouting career; he has served as senior patrol |
|
|
leader and chaplain aide for his troop and has won the respect and |
|
|
admiration of his fellow scouts as he worked toward the highest rank |
|
|
that scouting offers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A senior at Vanguard College Preparatory School, |
|
|
Yoni Kamenetsky serves as president of his class and also heads the |
|
|
school's National Honor Society chapter and Spanish Club; an |
|
|
exceptional athlete, he is a member of the varsity basketball, |
|
|
baseball, and cross-country teams, and he enjoys playing piano and |
|
|
guitar in his leisure time; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Kamenetsky's dedication to excellence |
|
|
and his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him |
|
|
worthy to stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect |
|
|
with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Jonathan Kamenetsky for achieving |
|
|
the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him best wishes for continued |
|
|
success and happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Kamenetsky as an expression of high regard by the |
|
