SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 460
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the Young Men's Business League of Austin on the |
|
|
occasion of its 100th anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Young Men's Business League was founded in |
|
|
1913 and is one of the oldest and most respected social service |
|
|
organizations in Austin; it provides its members a platform to |
|
|
cultivate lifelong personal and professional relationships |
|
|
through a variety of service opportunities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The league hosts such activities and programs as |
|
|
the Austin Under 40 Awards, the Schlotzsky's 5K and 10K Bun Runs, |
|
|
and its Annual Golf Classic; its Leadership Development Series |
|
|
features guest speakers and educational workshops that help its |
|
|
members grow as professionals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since 1928, the league has sponsored the Austin |
|
|
Sunshine Camps in an effort to break the cycle of poverty among |
|
|
high-potential, low-income young people in Central Texas; in |
|
|
addition to its summer camps, this exceptional program offers the |
|
|
Sunrise Leadership Program, which helps reduce the high school |
|
|
dropout rate, and the Sunrise Challenge Program, which assists |
|
|
middle school students in preparing for the rigors of high |
|
|
school; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For 100 years, the Young Men's Business League has |
|
|
made a profound difference in the lives of its members and of |
|
|
young people across the area, and it is truly deserving of |
|
|
recognition as it achieves this milestone in its history; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the Young Men's Business League of |
|
|
Austin on its legacy of community service and extend to its |
|
|
members best wishes for a memorable 100th anniversary |
|
|
celebration; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the league as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
