R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Latwanna Clark and her daughter, Kay Clark, have
  added to the richness and vitality of the Mesquite community by
  opening their bakery, Kay's Cookiez; and
         WHEREAS, Latwanna Clark, who had previously worked as a
  hairdresser and family therapist, decided to transition to a job
  that would allow her to spend more time with her young daughter;
  inspired by Kay's fondness for cookies, the mother-daughter duo
  began selling cookies and other treats in Atlanta, where they lived
  at the time, and then at the Town East Mall in Mesquite; the success
  of their kiosk led them to open a brick-and-mortar shop in March
  2021; and
         WHEREAS, Locally owned businesses make a welcome
  contribution to the prosperity and distinct character of their
  communities, and it is fitting that this notable enterprise be
  recognized for the valued service it provides to area residents;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Latwanna and Kay Clark on the
  opening of the Kay's Cookiez brick-and-mortar shop in Mesquite and
  extend to them sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Clark family as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
