SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 524
WHEREAS, A strong democracy depends on a citizenry engaged
with the issues of the day and committed to participation in the
political process; and
WHEREAS, The Grimes County Republican Women first
organized in 2011, yet in just two years this local affiliate of
the National Federation of Republican Women has made notable
contributions to the area; and
WHEREAS, Under the leadership of president Sherry Fauth,
the group participates in a variety of worthy endeavors such as
providing pocket copies of the United States Constitution for all
fifth grade students in the county and donating patriotic reading
material to public school libraries; they have also thanked every
fire department in the county with baked goods and donated a
large basket for an auction to benefit the Bedias Volunteer Fire
Department; and
WHEREAS, In addition to these local initiatives, the women
send care packages to service members overseas several times a
year and contribute to the Pennies for Postage program that
benefits soldiers abroad and their children; and
WHEREAS, Through their grassroots political activism,
members of the Grimes County Republican Women are making a
lasting difference in their community, state, and nation, and
they may take justifiable pride in the dynamic growth of their
organization in the past several years; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby honor the members of the Grimes County
Republican Women and extend to them sincere best wishes for the
future; 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 Senate.
