H.R. No. 1106
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Corpus Christi is playing host to the 2009 Pan
American Golf Association National Tournament and Convention,
which takes place July 27 through 31, 2009; and
WHEREAS, The crowning event of the PAGA schedule, the
National Tournament and Convention returns to Corpus Christi this
season for the first time in more than 10 years, and the event is
especially meaningful for the host chapter; organized in 1951, the
Corpus Christi PAGA chapter is the second oldest in the association
and was founded just four years after the inaugural group in San
Antonio; and
WHEREAS, This year's National Tournament and Convention
includes a special tribute to the women who instituted the National
Ladies Auxiliary; that group convened its first meeting in Corpus
Christi in 1976, and its officers included president Maggie
Cagigal, first vice president Viola Trujillo, second vice president
Librada Torres, recording secretary Martha Rosas, corresponding
secretary Martha Espinoza, treasurer Aurora Romero, and historian
Priscilla Torres; the 2009 national event also features special
ceremonies in honor of the PAGA Hall of Fame inductees and the
charter members of local PAGA chapters; and
WHEREAS, A celebrated gathering of PAGA members from across
the country, the National Tournament and Convention is truly a
momentous occasion for this admirable organization, and it is a
pleasure to join the PAGA members and sponsors in recognizing the
event; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 2009 Pan American Golf
Association National Tournament and Convention in Corpus Christi
and extend to all those taking part in the event sincere best wishes
for an enjoyable and successful gathering; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Corpus Christi PAGA chapter as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
Ortiz, Jr.
