H.R. No. 1296 is a resolution recognizing May 20, 2025, as Greater Houston Frontiers Club Day at the State Capitol. The Greater Houston Frontiers Club, a chapter of Frontiers International founded in 1936 by Nimrod B. Allen, has played a significant role in promoting civic engagement within the African American community. Initially focused on African American men, the organization later expanded its membership to include women. Over the years, the club has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships to underserved high school students in Harris County and has organized various community initiatives, including the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Scholarship Breakfast and other charitable events.
The resolution honors the Greater Houston Frontiers Club for its positive impact on the community and its commitment to empowering young Texans to reach their academic potential. It expresses the Texas House of Representatives' appreciation for the organization's contributions and extends a warm welcome to the visiting delegation on this special day. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House.
