R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Carol Adams received the 2003 Volunteer of the Year 
award on February 7, 2004, from the Katy Area Chamber of Commerce 
for her outstanding achievements as president of the Katy Heritage 
Society (KHS); and
	WHEREAS, Founded in 1979, the KHS is committed to preserving 
the rich history of the city that was once known as Cane Island; 
under the sure leadership of Ms. Adams, the organization succeeded 
in the summer of 2003 in relocating three historic homes, including 
one that Ms. Adams acquired while negotiating the move, and the old 
Katy post office to a site adjacent to the Katy Heritage Museum; 
revenue from the sale of the land on which these structures 
originally stood is being used to help restore the buildings; and
	WHEREAS, The relocation of the KHS properties, accomplished 
in concert with the City of Katy, marks a major step in the 
development of the new Katy Heritage Park, a historical area that 
will be tremendously rewarding for residents and tourists alike; 
and
	WHEREAS, Active in other civic organizations, Ms. Adams is 
also president of the Katy Literary Society and is a valued member 
of the Friends of the Katy Library; and
	WHEREAS, Through her unflagging dedication and remarkable 
vision, this enterprising citizen of Katy has been instrumental in 
launching a new era for the Katy Heritage Society, and her efforts 
have ensured that a significant part of Katy's past will be 
preserved for the benefit of present and future generations; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby pay tribute to Carol Adams 
on the occasion of her receipt of the 2003 Volunteer of the Year 
Award from the Katy Area Chamber of Commerce and extend to her 
sincere appreciation for her exceptional leadership as president of 
the Katy Heritage Society; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Ms. Adams as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
