|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded by Chicago businessman Melvin Jones in 1917, |
|
|
the Lions Club was organized around its motto of "We Serve"; members |
|
|
work for the betterment of their fellow citizens through their |
|
|
involvement in a number of worthy causes, including diabetes |
|
|
detection and research, international cooperation and |
|
|
understanding, and drug education and prevention; the group has |
|
|
also been inspired by Helen Keller to assist the visually impaired |
|
|
through such efforts as Sight First, the world's largest blindness |
|
|
prevention program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Lions Clubs became an international group in 1920, |
|
|
when the first Canadian chapter was established; through the years, |
|
|
the association has continued to grow steadily, becoming the |
|
|
largest service organization in the world, with 1.3 million members |
|
|
in more than 200 countries; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Chapters in the Lone Star State are fortunate to |
|
|
have a number of able leaders; District 2S-2 in East Texas is |
|
|
skillfully overseen by governor Glenn Starr, first vice governor |
|
|
Rick Reynolds, MD-2 council chair elect and Barron Cagle Lions |
|
|
World Services for the Blind past district governor Harry Goetzman, |
|
|
and public relations and information officer Keith Nielsen; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through more than nine decades, Lions Clubs |
|
|
International has enriched the lives of countless individuals, and |
|
|
its members may take justifiable pride in their shared legacy of |
|
|
good works; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 23, 2011, as Lions Club Day |
|
|

|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
