50 years of supporting their community on February 23, 2013; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since its founding in 1963, the group has completed |
|
|
numerous projects of benefit to local residents; members have |
|
|
started baseball and no-contact football teams for young people, |
|
|
and every year they provide baseball uniform shirts to any children |

in Muenster who want to play; other initiatives undertaken in |
|
|
behalf of area youngsters include scholarships and a youth deer |
|
|
hunt; and |

WHEREAS, The Jaycees have also made outdoor recreational |

space a priority; the group worked hard to build the city park, |
|
|
installing a fence, planting grass, and providing playground |
|
|
equipment, and members later added a pavilion and tennis and |
|
|
volleyball courts; their most recent accomplishment is the |

lights and sprinkler systems, a concessions building, and batting |
|

cages with pitching machines; and |

|
the Muscular Dystrophy Association, 4-H, the FFA, and the |
|
|
Gainesville and Denton State Schools; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For 50 years, the members of the Muenster Jaycees |
|
|
have enriched the lives of their fellow citizens through their |
|
|
outstanding efforts, and the group is indeed deserving of |
|
|
commendation for its record of achievement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
