R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of Girl Scout Troop 3540 are visiting the 
State Capitol on May 2, 2005, and the occasion provides a fitting 
opportunity to recognize this notable group of young Texans; and
	WHEREAS, Girl Scouts of America seeks to give its 
participants learning experiences that promote the development of 
strong leadership skills and civic responsibility, and young women 
who are influenced by scouting will one day be managing 
corporations, leading the country, and raising tomorrow's 
children; and
	WHEREAS, Troop 3540, which has been together for five years, 
is a junior and cadet group composed of girls from the Fort Worth, 
Kennedale, Mansfield, and Arlington Independent School Districts 
and Hill Private School; and
	WHEREAS, Ably led by Theresa Miskin, Kendra Smith, Sondra 
Harrel, Valerie Ortiz, and Natallie Allen, members of the troop 
include Meghan Miskin, Colleen Smith, Michelle Harrel, Celina 
Ortiz, Hannah Allen, Samantha Rhoades, Meghan Farris, Allison Lee, 
Chelsea Cole, and Amanda Valverde; and
	WHEREAS, The historic Capitol, with its impressive rotunda 
and distinctive pink granite facade, is an ideal setting for young 
and old alike to discover the rich heritage that is Texas, and this 
visit provides troop members a wonderful opportunity to learn about 
and gain special insight into the workings of our state government; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby welcome the members of Girl Scout Troop 3540 on 
their visit to the State Capitol and extend to them sincere best 
wishes for future success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the troop as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
