WHEREAS, Members of the Yellow Rose of Texas Republican Women |
|
|
are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their organization's |
|
|
founding in 2017; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In the summer of 2007, three women in Tomball joined |
|
|
together to form a group affiliated with the Texas Federation of |
|
|
Republican Women and the National Federation of Republican Women; |
|
|
they set themselves the daunting task of completing the |
|
|
organization process in time to attend that year's TFRW Biennial |
|
|
Convention in El Paso, and through diligence and determination, in |
|
|
just 12 days they prepared the bylaws, recruited members, and |
|
|
elected officers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This noteworthy organization has demonstrated |
|
|
exceptional dedication to promoting the goals of the Republican |
|
|
Party and supporting its candidates for public office; in addition, |
|
|
its members work to inform citizens about important issues and |
|
|
encourage participation in the electoral process; they also furnish |
|
|
educational materials to schoolchildren and libraries, coordinate |
|
|
community service projects, and give generously of their time and |
|
|
talents in behalf of veterans and active members of the military; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the past decade, the group has established |
|
|
productive relationships within the community and with elected |
|
|
officials, other Republican Women's groups, and the Harris County |
|
|
Republican Party; the club was recognized by the NFRW for its |
|
|
Americanism and Caring for America initiatives, and it has received |
|
|
numerous accolades from the TFRW, among them three John Goodwin |
|
|
Tower Awards and honors for Best Newsletter and Club Achievement; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their committed efforts, the members of the |
|
|
Yellow Rose of Texas Republican Women have helped to strengthen |
|
|
their party and foster a more unified, informed, and enthusiastic |
|
|
base of Republican voters, and as they mark this milestone in their |
|
|
organization's history, they may indeed reflect with pride on their |
|
|
accomplishments; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Yellow Rose of Texas Republican |
|
|
Women on its 10th anniversary and commend the members for their |
|
|
civic engagement; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
