H.R. No. 311



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, South Dakota native and longtime Texan Barbara 
Galland has completed four successful terms as a member of the 
Helotes City Council, and she is most deserving of special praise 
for her exemplary performance in this and many other roles; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Galland and her husband of 46 years, Richard, 
moved to Arlington in 1959 and relocated to Helotes in 1969; she 
taught 7th grade social studies for 26 years, while raising four 
children and staying active in the community through her service 
with Zion Lutheran Church, the Alamo City Republican Women, and St. 
Luke's Hospital Auxiliary, which she presided over for three terms; 
and
	WHEREAS, From 1974 to 1996, Mrs. Galland served as election 
judge for Bexar County in Helotes; she was a member of the Helotes 
incorporation committee in 1980-81, and was appointed as the first 
municipal judge in December 1982, a post she held until resigning in 
May 1996 in order to begin her successful campaign for city council; 
and
	WHEREAS, During her four terms, this dedicated councilwoman 
effected much positive change for her fellow citizens; although she 
is most proud of the city's sign ordinance, Mrs. Galland was also 
instrumental in establishing a professional paid and volunteer fire 
department and keeping taxes down; and
	WHEREAS, Barbara Galland has provided outstanding leadership 
throughout more than four decades of community and civic service in 
the Lone Star State, devoting untold hours as a volunteer and 
elected official, and it is a privilege to honor her at this time; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby recognize Barbara Galland 
for her service as a member of the Helotes City Council and for her 
many other contributions to the city and citizens of Helotes, and 
extend best wishes to her for continued success and happiness in all 
her endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mrs. Galland as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                          Mercer

                                                  ______________________________
                                                       Speaker of the House     

	I certify that H.R. No. 311 was adopted by the House on May 
17, 2004, by a non-record vote.
