  Capitol on February 25, 2009, to celebrate Texas Dental Association
  Day; and
         WHEREAS, The TDA is the third largest state dental
  association in the United States, currently serving nearly 8,000

  with the American Dental Association as its national representative
  and its component societies at the local level; and
         WHEREAS, Governed by two bodies, the TDA has a 22-member
  board of directors and a House of Delegates made up of 119 members;
  the 20 councils and committees of the association serve as
  policy-recommending agencies; and
         WHEREAS, This notable group's official publication, the
  Texas Dental Journal, has been distributed since 1883 and is the
  oldest operating dental periodical in the Americas; and
         WHEREAS, Since its inception, TDA has supported countless
  Texas dentists in their important work, while promoting excellence
  in the profession, and this event provides a fitting opportunity to
  honor the organization and its members; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 25, 2009, as Texas Dental
  Association Day and welcome visiting members to the State Capitol;
  and, be it further
