SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 383
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
welcome the young citizens from across the state who have come to |
|
Austin to celebrate 4-H Day at the State Capitol on March 25, |
|
2015; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas 4-H traces its beginnings to a Jack County |
|
corn club that began with 25 original members in 1908; today, |
|
members from both rural and urban areas have access to an |
|
extensive network of 4-H programs that are administered by the |
|
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and the Prairie View A&M |
|
Cooperative Extension Program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The 4-H community consists of young people across |
|
the nation who are learning the skills they need to succeed in |
|
life; the club seeks to meet the challenges of childhood through |
|
a coordinated, progressive series of educational experiences |
|
that enhance life skills and help young citizens develop social, |
|
emotional, physical, and cognitive competencies; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The 4-H program encourages wise and productive |
|
use of the four Hs, which stand for head, hands, heart, and |
|
health; through the years, millions of Texas youths have used the |
|
4-H pledge as a framework for building bright and successful |
|
futures; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the members and volunteers of Texas |
|
4-H on the occasion of 4-H Day at the State Capitol and extend to |
|
them best wishes for a rewarding visit to Austin; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the organization as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
