welcome opportunity to honor the YMCA for its success in |
|
|
strengthening communities throughout the Lone Star State; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Y is a nonprofit organization committed to the |
|
|
goals of nurturing youth development, promoting healthy living, and |
|
|
inspiring social responsibility; in collaboration with government, |
|

business, and other nonprofit groups, the Y works to maximize civic |
|
|
resources and to ensure that all individuals have the chance to |
|
|
learn, grow, and thrive; and |

|
to an additional 60,000 program volunteers and 5,000 employees; |
|
|
touching many lives, there are more than 1.3 million YMCA members in |
|
|
Texas, and half that number are children; and |

of Texas for years to come; now, therefore, be it |
