SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 904
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
welcome the corporate leaders and independent consultants of |
|
|
Mary Kay, Incorporated, as they celebrate the company's 50th |
|
|
anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Mary Kay brand has been synonymous with beauty |
|
|
and empowerment for women since 1963, when a hardworking mother |
|
|
named Mary Kay Ash used her life's savings of $5,000 and launched |
|
|
her own line of cosmetics and skin care products in Dallas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Determined to help women get a foothold in the |
|
|
business world, Mrs. Ash created not just a cosmetics company but |
|
|
also a business model based on elevating the lives and |
|
|
self-esteem of women; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since its creation, the company has grown |
|
|
exponentially; with more than 2.5 million independent beauty |
|
|
consultants around the world and $3 billion in global annual |
|
|
wholesale sales, Mary Kay is a top beauty brand; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Equally impressive are the philanthropic projects |
|
|
of the Mary Kay Foundation, which has funded grants totaling more |
|
|
than $49 million to support domestic violence prevention and |
|
|
cancer research through a number of innovative programs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, From one very determined woman's visionary plan |
|
|
back in 1963 emerged an economic powerhouse that has enriched the |
|
|
lives of women and improved the living conditions of countless |
|
|
people around the world; it is fitting that those who carry on the |
|
|
legacy of Mary Kay Ash be honored on the 50th anniversary of the |
|
|
company's founding; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the corporate leaders and the |
|
|
independent consultants of Mary Kay, Incorporated, and proclaim |
|
|
May 16, 2013, Mary Kay Day at the State Capitol; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
|
honor of this special occasion. |
