SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1000
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Members of the Los Carnales/La Familia Motorcycle |
|
|
Club are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their organization |
|
|
on December 12, 2015; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The club was established in 1995 by a group of |
|
|
Houston police officers who shared a love for the open road and |
|
|
American-manufactured V-Twin motorcycles, as well as a |
|
|
commitment to community service; founding members included |
|
|
Mondel Martin, Russell Fisher, Max Williams, Rock Rheinhart, and |
|
|
John Gonzalez; the civic-minded organization, which continues to |
|
|
draw its membership largely from the ranks of law enforcement but |
|
|
has grown to include like-minded family members and friends, has |
|
|
since expanded outside Texas and even beyond the borders of the |
|
|
United States, and it now encompasses 28 chapters; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, Texas chapters have benefited a |
|
|
host of worthy organizations across the Lone Star State, among |
|
|
them the Arc of Fort Bend County, World for Children, the Spring |
|
|
Branch Elementary Bike Give-Away, Court Appointed Special |
|
|
Advocates, Navidad en el Barrio, the Peace Officers Memorial |
|
|
Foundation, and The Crisis Center in Matagorda and Wharton |
|
|
Counties; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For two decades, the Los Carnales/La Familia |
|
|
Motorcycle Club has promoted camaraderie and charitable giving, |
|
|
and this significant milestone provides an ideal opportunity to |
|
|
recognize the group for its contributions; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commemorate the 20th anniversary of the |
|
|
founding of the Los Carnales/La Familia Motorcycle Club and |
|
|
extend to its members sincere best wishes for a memorable and |
|
|
meaningful celebration; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the club as an expression of high regard from the |
|
|
Texas Senate. |
