                                  R E S O L U T I O N
    1-1        WHEREAS, Many of the most elegant and charming women from
    1-2  across the state will gather in Grand Prairie on April 1-4, 1993,
    1-3  to vie for the title  Ms. Texas Senior America; and
    1-4        WHEREAS, Hosted by the city of Grand Prairie Parks and
    1-5  Recreation Department, this pageant is open to women age 60 and
    1-6  older, and contestants will compete in four categories:  interview,
    1-7  evening gown, talent, and philosophy of life; and
    1-8        WHEREAS, The winner of the Ms. Texas Senior America Pageant
    1-9  will have the honor of representing the Lone Star State in the
   1-10  Ms. Senior America Pageant in Nashville, Tennessee, later this
   1-11  year; and
   1-12        WHEREAS, Unlike traditional beauty pageants, this contest
   1-13  emphasizes the achievements, talent, and inner beauty of senior
   1-14  women; contestants are encouraged to realize the fullness of their
   1-15  life experiences by sharing the benefits of those experiences as
   1-16  well as their unique perspectives and positive attitudes with
   1-17  others; and
   1-18        WHEREAS, By sharing their warmth, wisdom, and positive
   1-19  outlook with their fellow Texans, these fine women are dispelling
   1-20  the myth that growing older means slowing down; these spirited and
   1-21  vivacious women have reached the "Age of Elegance," and their
   1-22  knowledge, experience, and wisdom are a valuable resource for
   1-23  younger generations; now, therefore, be it
   1-24        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
    2-1  Legislature hereby honor all the participants in the Ms. Texas
    2-2  Senior America Pageant and extend to them warmest best wishes for
    2-3  many more years of success and happiness; and, be it further
    2-4        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
    2-5  forwarded to the participants as an expression of high regard by
    2-6  the Texas House of Representatives.
