CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The Junior League of Midland is celebrating 75 years
of service to the community in 2024; and
WHEREAS, Originally known as the Midland Service League, the
Junior League of Midland was founded in 1949 with the mission to
advance women's leadership through volunteer action,
collaboration, and training; in 1964, it was officially admitted as
the 195th league in the Association of Junior Leagues, and over the
years, it has amassed an impressive record of community service and
supported countless individuals and families in need; today, the
organization counts nearly 600 members who annually donate more
than 16,000 hours of service; and
WHEREAS, Among its many initiatives, the Junior League offers
an after-school reading program at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the
Permian Basin in Midland, and it holds weekly workshops as part of
its Suits with Skills project, which provides job-skills mentoring
for female survivors of domestic abuse; in 2017, the organization
partnered with Communities in Schools of the Permian Basin to
create IMPACT yearlong mentoring programming for local at-risk
students; moreover, the group's most recent endeavor, Pink Pantry,
provides feminine and basic hygiene supplies to students at several
Midland Independent School District schools; and
WHEREAS, Over the past 75 years, the people of Midland have
been fortunate to benefit from the far-reaching contributions of
the Junior League, and it is a pleasure to join in honoring the
group's proud tradition of leadership, service, and civic
engagement; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby commend the Junior League of Midland for its exemplary
record of service and that all those associated with the
organization be extended sincere best wishes for continued success
with their important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Junior League of Midland as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
