SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 848
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
join the Senate Ladies Club in honoring those ladies who have been |
|
club members for 25 years or more; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Senate Ladies Club originated 78 years ago as |
|
a social club for ladies who accompanied their husbands to Austin |
|
for the 40th Legislative Session; the club was organized to provide |
|
a means by which the ladies could become better acquainted with |
|
one another and introduce themselves to the Austin community; and |
|
WHEREAS, The club has a tradition of hosting a dinner the |
|
Monday preceding the opening of the legislative session to honor |
|
the governor and lieutenant governor and their spouses and the |
|
new members of the Senate and their spouses; the club meets each |
|
week on Wednesdays during the regular session; and |
|
WHEREAS, Active members are those women serving in the Senate |
|
and the wives of senators; associate members are women who are |
|
former senators or wives of former senators; and honorary members |
|
are the spouses of the current governor, lieutenant governor, and |
|
the attorney general; membership in the club is, in effect, a life |
|
membership--"Once a Senate Lady, always a Senate Lady"; and |
|
WHEREAS, Debbie Montford joined the Senate Ladies Club in |
|
1982 and is being honored this year for her 25 years of loyal |
|
membership and outstanding service; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
80th Legislature, hereby pay special tribute to this distinguished |
|
lady and commend her for her accomplishments and contributions to |
|
our state; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for her |
|
as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
