SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 904
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
join the Senate Ladies Club in honoring those ladies who have |
|
been club members for 25 or 50 years; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Senate Ladies Club originated in 1927 as a |
|
social club for ladies who accompanied their husbands to Austin |
|
for the 40th Legislative Session; the club was organized to |
|
provide a means by which the ladies could become better |
|
acquainted with one another and introduce themselves to the |
|
Austin community; and |
|
WHEREAS, The club has a tradition of hosting a dinner the |
|
Monday preceding the opening of the legislative session to honor |
|
the governor and lieutenant governor and their spouses and the |
|
new members of the Senate and their spouses; the club meets each |
|
week on Wednesdays during the regular session; and |
|
WHEREAS, Active members are those women serving in the |
|
Senate and the wives of senators; associate members are women who |
|
are former senators or wives of former senators; and honorary |
|
members are the spouses of the current governor, lieutenant |
|
governor, and attorney general; membership in the club is, in |
|
effect, a life membership--"Once a Senate Lady, always a Senate |
|
Lady"; and |
|
WHEREAS, Marilyn Schwartz and Carrin Patman are being |
|
honored this year for 50 years of loyal membership and |
|
outstanding service, and Helen Green and Cyndi Taylor Krier are |
|
being honored as 25-year members; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd |
|
Legislature, hereby pay special tribute to these distinguished |
|
ladies and commend them for their accomplishments and |
|
contributions to our state; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
them as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
