R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Three Austin Boy Scouts, John Jefferson Bradshaw,
Collin Cruz Evans, and Christopher Russell Marshall, are receiving
the prestigious Gold Congressional Award on June 25, 2009; and
WHEREAS, The national Congressional Award program is
sponsored by the United States Congress and is open to young people
between the ages of 14 and 23; participants earn Bronze, Silver, or
Gold Congressional Awards by achieving goals in volunteer public
service, personal development, physical fitness, and exploration;
and
WHEREAS, Mr. Bradshaw, Mr. Evans, and Mr. Marshall are all
Eagle Scouts, and all have been members of the Boy Scout troop
sponsored by the Tarrytown United Methodist Church in Austin;
together, they have contributed more than 1,000 hours of community
service in the Lone Star State; and
WHEREAS, Fewer than 270 young people have earned the Gold
Congressional Award in the past year, and the hard work and public
spirit demonstrated by these three outstanding young men is indeed
worthy of recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate John Jefferson Bradshaw, Collin
Cruz Evans, and Christopher Russell Marshall for receiving the Gold
Congressional Award and extend to them sincere best wishes for
continued success and a bright future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Bradshaw, Mr. Evans, and Mr. Marshall as an
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
