SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 460
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Young Men's Business League of Austin on the
occasion of its 100th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, The Young Men's Business League was founded in
1913 and is one of the oldest and most respected social service
organizations in Austin; it provides its members a platform to
cultivate lifelong personal and professional relationships
through a variety of service opportunities; and
WHEREAS, The league hosts such activities and programs as
the Austin Under 40 Awards, the Schlotzsky's 5K and 10K Bun Runs,
and its Annual Golf Classic; its Leadership Development Series
features guest speakers and educational workshops that help its
members grow as professionals; and
WHEREAS, Since 1928, the league has sponsored the Austin
Sunshine Camps in an effort to break the cycle of poverty among
high-potential, low-income young people in Central Texas; in
addition to its summer camps, this exceptional program offers the
Sunrise Leadership Program, which helps reduce the high school
dropout rate, and the Sunrise Challenge Program, which assists
middle school students in preparing for the rigors of high
school; and
WHEREAS, For 100 years, the Young Men's Business League has
made a profound difference in the lives of its members and of
young people across the area, and it is truly deserving of
recognition as it achieves this milestone in its history; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby commend the Young Men's Business League of
Austin on its legacy of community service and extend to its
members best wishes for a memorable 100th anniversary
celebration; and, be it further
