WHEREAS, Corpus Christi is playing host to the 2009 Pan |
|
|
American Golf Association National Tournament and Convention, |
|
|
which takes place July 27 through 31, 2009; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The crowning event of the PAGA schedule, the |
|
|
National Tournament and Convention returns to Corpus Christi this |
|
|
season for the first time in more than 10 years, and the event is |
|
|
especially meaningful for the host chapter; organized in 1951, the |
|
|
Corpus Christi PAGA chapter is the second oldest in the association |
|
|
and was founded just four years after the inaugural group in San |
|
|
Antonio; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This year's National Tournament and Convention |
|
|
includes a special tribute to the women who instituted the National |
|
|
Ladies Auxiliary; that group convened its first meeting in Corpus |
|
|
Christi in 1976, and its officers included president Maggie |
|
|
Cagigal, first vice president Viola Trujillo, second vice president |
|
|
Librada Torres, recording secretary Martha Rosas, corresponding |
|
|
secretary Martha Espinoza, treasurer Aurora Romero, and historian |
|
|
Priscilla Torres; the 2009 national event also features special |
|
|
ceremonies in honor of the PAGA Hall of Fame inductees and the |
|
|
charter members of local PAGA chapters; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A celebrated gathering of PAGA members from across |
|
|
the country, the National Tournament and Convention is truly a |
|
|
momentous occasion for this admirable organization, and it is a |
|
|
pleasure to join the PAGA members and sponsors in recognizing the |
|
|
event; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 2009 Pan American Golf |
|
|
Association National Tournament and Convention in Corpus Christi |
|
|
and extend to all those taking part in the event sincere best wishes |
|
|
for an enjoyable and successful gathering; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Corpus Christi PAGA chapter as an expression of |
|
|
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
