WHEREAS, The Lake Highlands Women's League raised a |
|
|
record-setting amount of money for charity with its 36th annual |
|
|
Holiday in the Highlands Home Tour on December 5, 2014; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, During this festive event each Christmas season, |
|
|
residents of Lake Highlands generously open their beautiful homes |
|
|
to generate funds in support of local schools and libraries, |
|
|
nonprofit organizations, and scholarships for students at Lake |
|
|
Highlands High School; this year, the tour raised $213,195, a sum |
|
|
that exceeded last year's total by more than $15,000 and that |
|
|
represented the highest amount ever raised by the tour; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since 1969, the Lake Highlands Women's League has |
|
|
dedicated itself to uniting and promoting Lake Highlands through |
|
|
community service; over the past 45 years, the LHWL has awarded more |
|
|
than $2.1 million to worthy causes, giving $1.5 million to |
|
|
scholarship funds alone, and each year, league members contribute |
|
|
over 2,500 volunteer hours; in addition to the Home Tour, members |
|
|
sponsor a collection each September for the Network of Community |
|
|
Ministries, and every spring, they express their appreciation to |
|
|
local police officers and firefighters with a bountiful array of |
|
|
home-baked treats; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The civic groups of the Lone Star State play an |
|
|
indispensable role in improving the quality of life for countless |
|
|
Texas residents, and the members of the Lake Highlands Women's |
|
|
League may take great pride in their strong tradition of service to |
|
|
others; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Lake Highlands Women's League |
|
|
on the record-breaking success of its 2014 Holiday in the Highlands |
|
|
Home Tour and extend to the league's members sincere best wishes for |
|
|
continued success in their important work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Lake Highlands Women's League as an expression of |
|
|
