	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Boys & Girls Clubs in the Lone Star State have made
	invaluable contributions to the success and overall well-being of
	countless young Texans and their families; and
	WHEREAS, Providing services to over 360,000 students in more
	than 180 communities in Texas, Boys & Girls Clubs seek to inspire
	all young people, especially those most in need of encouragement,
	to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and
	caring citizens; and
	WHEREAS, Through evidence-based youth initiatives, leaders
	in Texas Boys & Girls Clubs foster life skills, character and
	leadership development, and education and career advancement; they
	also offer a variety of programs focusing on sports, recreation,
	and the arts, which promote a better self-image and improved
	cultural and social awareness while instilling strong moral values;
	and
	WHEREAS, On February 26-28, 2017, the Texas Alliance of Boys &
	Girls Clubs is holding a summit for members of Boys & Girls Clubs
	throughout the state; the event culminates with the selection of
	the Texas Youth of the Year and the Texas Military Youth of the
	Year, who will then go on to represent the state at competitions in
	Washington, D.C.; and
	WHEREAS, Through the years, Boys & Girls Clubs have
	encouraged young people to aspire to the highest level of personal
	development and to become active and engaged members of their
	communities, and it is indeed a pleasure to recognize all those
	involved in these important organizations at this time; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor Boys & Girls Clubs from across the Lone
	Star State for their service to Texas youth and commemorate the 2017
	Texas Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs State Summit; and, be it
	further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the Texas Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs as an
	expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
