SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 897
         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 Pan American Golf
  Association's 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 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 association's
  Hall of Fame inductees and the charter members of local chapters;
  and
         WHEREAS, A celebrated gathering of Pan American Golf
  Association 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
  association's members and sponsors in recognizing the event;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
  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 a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  the Corpus Christi chapter of the Pan American Golf Association
  as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
