SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 297
WHEREAS, Shanda C. Larsen of the Boys & Girls Clubs of
Wichita Falls has been named as a 2021 Regional Youth of the Year,
and this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1947, the Youth of the Year
competition is the premier recognition program of the Boys &
Girls Clubs of America; this comprehensive leadership
development initiative helps club members to build their skills
in such vital areas as communication, goal-setting, and
teamwork; and
WHEREAS, The daughter of Victor and Sharon Larsen,
Ms. Larsen has been actively involved with the Southeast Club of
the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wichita Falls for more than a decade;
over the past year, she has put in approximately 135 volunteer
hours, and she lends her support to such initiatives as the Power
Hour Homework and Reading Clubs, the SMART Girls program, and
Healthy Habits; a role model for her fellow youth, she was
selected to participate in a teen work program at the Southeast
Club; and
WHEREAS, Shanda Larsen's selection as a Regional Youth of
the Year is a fitting tribute to her considerable success in
academics and her proven leadership in her club and community,
and she may indeed reflect with pride on this prestigious honor;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
Legislature, hereby congratulate Shanda C. Larsen on being named
a Boys & Girls Clubs 2021 Regional Youth of the Year and extend to
her 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 Ms. Larsen as an expression of high regard from the
Texas Senate.
