SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 90
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize the Austin Saengerrunde Damenchor on the grand
  occasion of the choral group's 60th anniversary; and
         WHEREAS, The Saengerrunde Damenchor was organized in 1959
  as part of the Austin Saengerrunde Club, a German singing club
  known today as one of the oldest cultural organizations in
  Austin; and
         WHEREAS, The Damenchor, or women's choir, was established
  to help the club promote interest in the preservation of German
  song; the choir gained recognition for hosting an annual
  Christmas concert and for performing at the annual German Texan
  Saengerfest of the Deutsch-Texanischer Saengerbund, an event
  that continues to bring together German choirs from around the
  state each year; and
         WHEREAS, On May 5, 2019, the Austin Saengerrunde Club is
  hosting the 73rd Saengertag of the Deutsch-Texanischer
  Saengerbund at the club's historic Saengerrunde Halle; German
  choirs in Texas will gather to showcase their exceptional talents
  and to promote the preservation of German culture and language in
  Texas; and
         WHEREAS, Members of the Saengerrunde Damenchor are part of
  a proud history in Austin, and it is indeed fitting that their
  beloved Saengerrunde Halle will serve as the venue for the annual
  Saengerfest during the year that marks the choir's 60th
  anniversary; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
  Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Austin
  Saengerrunde Damenchor for 60 years of success in promoting
  German culture and heritage in the Lone Star State and extend to
  all best wishes for a memorable 73rd Saengertag of the
  Deutsch-Texanischer Saengerbund; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  the choir as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
