7 | 7 | | occasion of its centennial anniversary; and |
---|
8 | 8 | | WHEREAS, The Twentieth Century Club was formally organized in |
---|
9 | 9 | | Lubbock in 1909 within months of the formation of the town; what |
---|
10 | 10 | | began as a literary endeavor increasingly reflected the active |

11 | 11 | | involvement of the founders in all areas of civic affairs and |
---|
12 | 12 | | community development; and |
---|
13 | 13 | | WHEREAS, Among the club's most notable and lasting legacies |
---|
14 | 14 | | is the library system whose foundation began with the first lending |
---|
15 | 15 | | libraries of members who later formed the Lubbock Library |
---|

18 | 18 | | WHEREAS, The Twentieth Century Club actively supported the |
---|
19 | 19 | | establishment of Texas Technological College, now Texas Tech |

20 | 20 | | University, in Lubbock and also began a student loan fund that later |
---|
21 | 21 | | became part of the Paul Whitfield Horn Fellowship program; members |
---|
22 | 22 | | of the club have also worked with the university as professors and |
---|
23 | 23 | | staff; and |
---|
24 | 24 | | WHEREAS, The influence of the Twentieth Century Club in |
---|
25 | 25 | | Lubbock has been felt far and wide through its affiliation with such |
---|
26 | 26 | | groups as the Federated Women's Club and its support of civic |
---|
27 | 27 | | issues, charities, and literary and art promotion; and |
---|
28 | 28 | | WHEREAS, Its significance is a reflection of the strength of |
---|
29 | 29 | | its individual members who continue to give so generously of their |
---|
30 | 30 | | time, energy, and resources to continue the traditions that began |
---|
31 | 31 | | 100 years ago; now, therefore, be it |
---|
32 | 32 | | RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas |
