SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 41
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Cameron Lions Club on the grand occasion of the
organization's 100th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, Chartered on September 26, 1923, the Cameron
Lions Club represents District 2-S3 for Lions Clubs
International, which is the world's largest service club
organization and includes 1.4 million members in more than 47,000
clubs worldwide; and
WHEREAS, For 100 years, the Cameron Lions Club has served
and strengthened the city of Cameron and its residents through
numerous service projects and philanthropic activities and has
supported both the efforts of the Lions Clubs International and
those of such local organizations as the Cameron Boy Scouts of
America and the Cameron Chamber of Commerce; and
WHEREAS, Drawing on Helen Keller's 1925 call to be "knights
of the blind in a crusade against darkness," Lions Clubs have
long been committed to promoting vision care and to providing
resources and support for those affected by blindness or vision
challenges; the Cameron Lions Club has steadfastly upheld this
mission by providing vision screenings and eyeglasses to the
students of Cameron Independent School District and to children
in surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, The members of the Cameron Lions Club have also
devoted themselves to enhancing public recreation and community
beautification in Cameron, and members are donating $200,000 to
the city for the redevelopment of one of the city's parks, which
will be renamed in honor of the club; and
WHEREAS, The Cameron Lions Club has served the community
with great dedication, and over the past century, its members
have helped to nurture an environment of altruism and service in
the city of Cameron; it is indeed fitting that this outstanding
organization receive special recognition for its exemplary work;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby commend the members of
the Cameron Lions Club on the club's 100th anniversary and on
their many outstanding contributions to the community and extend
to all best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the Cameron Lions Club in honor of this special occasion.
