WHEREAS, Throughout history, the family has served to |
|
|
protect, nurture, and strengthen its members, preparing them to |
|
|
thrive in the greater world, and on July 4 and 5, 2009, members of |
|
|
the Davis family are gathering to recognize the importance of this |
|
|
enduring institution in their own lives; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, John Davis, Sr., initiated the tradition of an |
|
|
annual reunion in 1936 in Madisonville, and since that time, |
|
|
members of this proud Lone Star family have met on the first weekend |
|
|
in July for fun and fellowship; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The festivities planned for the get-together |
|
|
include a fish fry, a dance, and the traditional wild stew cook-off; |
|
|
for many, the weekend represents an opportunity to get reacquainted |
|
|
and catch up with developments in each other's lives, while for |
|
|
others, the weekend will serve as a new opportunity to form lifelong |
|
|
friendships; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The myriad contributions made by members of the |
|
|
extended Davis family are interwoven in the compelling history of |
|
|
the Lone Star State, and it is indeed a pleasure to recognize this |
|
|
highly anticipated occasion; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 2009 Davis family reunion and |
|
|
extend to its organizers and participants sincere best wishes for |
|
|
an enjoyable and memorable event; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Davis family as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
