H.R. No. 987
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Nan Napier has long been an invaluable supporter of
the YWCA in El Paso; and
WHEREAS, Inspired by her mother, who was also an advocate of
the YWCA, Mrs. Napier first served the organization through the
YWCA Consumer Credit Counseling Service; her education in business
and accounting was a tremendous asset, helping to ensure that the
then new initiative would have a solid foundation to help families
struggling to manage their finances; thanks in part to her efforts,
the counseling service has helped thousands of families and
returned as much as $9 million to $10 million annually to creditors;
and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Napier continues her contributions today as the
owner of Tres Mariposas, a women's clothing boutique; she has made
generous donations that have bolstered the spirits and confidence
of many residents of the YWCA Sara McKnight Transitional Living
Center, which provides essential services to homeless women and
children; and
WHEREAS, Embracing community service as a core business as
well as personal philosophy, Mrs. Napier views commitment to her
fellow residents as a cornerstone of her company, now in its 37th
year; she assists more than 15 organizations and events annually,
and she further gives to the YWCA by supporting its annual women's
luncheon; and
WHEREAS, The strength of our communities and the vitality of
the State of Texas depend on the dedication of women like Nan
Napier; she uses her considerable talents and charitable spirit to
serve others, and it is a pleasure to join the YWCA in honoring her;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commend Nan Napier for her efforts in behalf of
the YWCA in El Paso and extend to her sincere best wishes for
continued success with her important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mrs. Napier as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
