SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 60
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
join the members of the Montgomery County Republican Party in |
|
|
celebrating the reopening of the party's historic |
|
|
headquarters; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1964, the members of the County Executive |
|
|
Committee determined there was a need for a full-time |
|
|
headquarters to establish the party's political presence in |
|
|
Montgomery County and to provide a necessary base for the party's |
|
|
activities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The party headquarters opened in 1965 and was |
|
|
originally located in a single room adjacent to the lobby of the |
|
|
State Hotel in Conroe; the party faced the challenge of finding a |
|
|
painter who would create a Republican Party sign at the time, and |
|
|
the sign that was eventually painted and hung above the entrance |
|
|
remains at the current headquarters as a reminder of the |
|
|
obstacles overcome by past members of the Montgomery County |
|
|
Republican Party; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A larger facility was used for a time as the |
|
|
headquarters to accommodate the party's needs, and the party led |
|
|
multiple successful campaigns in the late 1980s and early 1990s; |
|
|
through the creation and continuing support of the party's |
|
|
Roundtable, Business Council, and Sustaining Member Program, |
|
|
funds were raised to enable the party to relocate its |
|
|
headquarters to the former lobby of the State Hotel; the historic |
|
|
building continues to host the members of the Montgomery County |
|
|
Republican Party and to serve as a much-needed headquarters; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
|
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate the |
|
|
Montgomery County Republican Party on a successful reopening of |
|
|
its headquarters and commend the party's members for their |
|
|
continued commitment to civic and political engagement; and, be |
|
|
it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the Montgomery County Republican Party as an expression of esteem |
|
|
from the Texas Senate. |
