SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 802

	WHEREAS, On May 21, 2003, the Texas Senate is pleased to 
welcome the visiting delegation from the St. Anthony of Padua 
Senior Pals to the State Capitol; and

	WHEREAS, The Senior Pals program was initiated in 2002 
in an effort to unite members of the church who are over the age 
of 55; by bringing together a community of individuals who have 
similar interests and life experiences, the program offers 
participants a unique sense of belonging within the large 
St. Anthony of Padua parish; and

	WHEREAS, In addition to regular meetings, members of 
Senior Pals are invited to take part in various monthly trips 
and social events, one of which is this month's visit to the 
senate chamber; and

	WHEREAS, Participating in the democratic system of 
government is truly a worthwhile undertaking, and it is a 
pleasure to welcome the members of the Senior Pals program 
as they embrace this admirable goal; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
78th Legislature, hereby honor all those associated with the 
Senior Pals program at St. Anthony of Padua in The Woodlands 
and extend to them sincere best wishes for a memorable visit 
to Austin.
                                                                        Williams




________________________________
