SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 634
WHEREAS, Members of the Pecos County 4-H clubs are visiting
the State Capitol on April 25, 2019; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1908, Texas 4-H is the state's largest
youth development program, with more than 550,000 young people
from every county taking part each year; the program is
administered by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and
offers participants the chance to engage in activities related to
the areas of agriculture, science, engineering, leadership,
natural resources, and family and community health, among
others; and
WHEREAS, Pecos County 4-H was established in the 1950s by
agriculture agent Pat Garner, and today it serves nearly 160
youth across the county; the organization consists of four local
affiliates, the Pecos River 4-H Club, the Fort Stockton 4-H Club,
the Imperial 4-H Club, and the Coyanosa 4-H Club, which benefit
from the leadership of club presidents Rylie Cravens, Shannon
Weyerts, Wyatt Ivey, and Lizette Ulloa; and
WHEREAS, Since its inception, Pecos County 4-H has
enriched the lives of many young Texans by helping them gain the
knowledge and skills necessary to become engaged and productive
citizens, and it is indeed fitting to pay tribute to this
outstanding organization; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby recognize April 25, 2019, as Pecos County 4-H
Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those visiting sincere
best wishes for an informative and enjoyable stay in Austin; and,
be it further

prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by
the Texas Senate.
