H.R. No. 13
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, La Sociedad Mutualista de Cuauhtémoc has
  demonstrated a steadfast commitment to supporting Mexican American
  residents of San Marcos; and
         WHEREAS, In response to a lack of civic, business, and
  educational resources, Mexican Americans in San Marcos began
  establishing mutual aid societies in the early 1900s; in 1942, the
  general consul of Mexico suggested the formation of an honorary
  commission to represent the area's Mexican American residents,
  which soon led to the creation of La Sociedad Mutualista de
  Cuauhtémoc; and
         WHEREAS, Since its founding, the organization has worked to
  promote and preserve the heritage and cultural identity of the
  Mexican American community and to provide necessary services to its
  members; its civic programs and initiatives have included free
  summer day camps, scholarships for graduating high school seniors,
  financial assistance for funeral expenses, and even medical advice;
  moreover, the organization developed El Parque Cuauhtémoc in the
  Victory Gardens subdivision, and the park's Cuauhtémoc Hall has
  become a popular venue for community events and cultural
  celebrations such as Cinco de Mayo, Dies y Seis de Septiembre, and
  Día de la Raza; and
         WHEREAS, True to its mission, La Sociedad Mutualista de
  Cuauhtémoc has served as an essential resource for the Mexican
  American community in San Marcos and beyond, and the organization
  is indeed deserving of special recognition for its contributions;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor La Sociedad
  Mutualista de Cuauhtémoc and extend to all those associated with
  the organization sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for La Sociedad Mutualista de Cuauhtémoc as an expression
  of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
