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. |
