WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to

on the founding of the organization's new chapter in Bosque
County; and
WHEREAS, The Daughters of the American Revolution was

to securing funding for scholarships to students and financial
aid to underserved children; the organization is dedicated to
promoting patriotism and preserving American history; and
WHEREAS, Historical records indicate that settlement in
Bosque County began in the mid-1800s, and each principal town was

citizens; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby extend congratulations to the citizens of
Bosque County on the opening of the new chapter of the Daughters of
the American Revolution and commend the organization's members on
