SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 337
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the ABC Pro Rodeo in Lubbock on the grand occasion of
the event's 75th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, The ABC Pro Rodeo began in 1942 as an endeavor of
the Lubbock Downtown Chapter of the American Business Clubs,
commonly known as "AMBUCS," to bring Boys and Girls Club branches
to the region; and
WHEREAS, The rodeo serves as the chapter's biggest
fund-raiser; in addition to funding the construction of the
community's first Boys and Girls Club, the event has raised more
than $1.5 million for the day-to-day operations of three local
clubs and has raised more than $1 million for local charities and
support groups; and
WHEREAS, The Lubbock Downtown Chapter of the American
Business Clubs is committed to the organization's national
mission to create independent lifestyles for people with
disabilities; chapter members are hardworking individuals who
are motivated by the desire to improve the quality of life in
Lubbock, and over the years, the ABC Pro Rodeo has enabled them to
continually fulfill their mission of service to their community;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend all associated with the Lubbock
Downtown Chapter of the American Business Clubs and the ABC Pro
