SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 706
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize the Trinity Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, on the
  occasion of its 12th Annual Diamonds and Sneakers Gala; and
 
         WHEREAS, The Trinity Chapter of The Links was chartered in
  1994 to serve the Dallas community by planning and providing
  transformational programs under The Links, Incorporated's five
  facets; and
 
         WHEREAS, The annual Diamonds and Sneakers Gala funds the
  chapter's core scholarships and programs, including the So
  SMAART mentorship program for minority girls; this signature
  youth program stands for Set on Science and Engineering,
  Mathematics, the Arts, Aviation, Reading, and Technology, and it

  careers in these important fields; and
 
         WHEREAS, To date, So SMAART has inspired more than 1,300
  girls in the Dallas community to believe in their abilities and
  to consistently strive to achieve their dreams; several early
  graduates of the program have gone on to build careers in math,
  education, law, and medicine, and all associated with the Trinity
  Chapter are deserving of recognition for helping each of them
  reach their goals; now, therefore, be it
 
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
  Legislature, hereby commend the Trinity Chapter of The Links,
  Incorporated, for their many contributions to the Dallas
  community and extend to them best wishes for a successful 12th
