WHEREAS, The Honorable Kathleen Cardone has performed
outstanding volunteer work in her community through the YWCA El
Paso del Norte Region; and
WHEREAS, Now a respected federal judge, Kathy Cardone first
became involved with the local YWCA almost three decades ago; after
moving to El Paso with her husband in 1980, she began volunteering

those early years helped lay the foundation for the exceptional
service she has provided to the organization in the years since; and
WHEREAS, Judge Cardone became a member of the YWCA board of
directors in 1997 and linked the board's efforts with the
community-oriented endeavors of her work in the legal profession to
implement such programs as the El Paso County Domestic Relations
Office and Children Cope with Divorce; she left the board of
directors in 2004, but she continues to provide valuable support to
the YWCA and its many beneficial community programs; and
WHEREAS, Through her enduring work with the YWCA, Kathy
Cardone has devoted her time and expertise to the goal of empowering
women and to the enhancement of the quality of life in her
community, and she is indeed deserving of recognition for these
admirable efforts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby honor Judge Kathleen Cardone for the exemplary
volunteer service she has rendered to the YWCA El Paso del Norte
Region and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success
and happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Judge Cardone as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
