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.
	Schwertner
