as mentors to younger 4-H members; and

Livestock Ambassadors held the Extra Special Livestock Show at the

guide the group and help members meet their goals; and
WHEREAS, The San Patricio County 4-H Livestock Ambassadors
are benefiting their fellow residents while gaining valuable
experience that will aid them in the coming years, and they may
reflect with pride on their many accomplishments; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby recognize the San Patricio County 4-H Livestock
Ambassadors for their work in the community and extend to them
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
