regular meetings that cover such issues as health, crime, and the
economy; the organization also works closely with the Republican
Party to train volunteers and provide support for local and
statewide campaigns; and
WHEREAS, This notable organization embodies a spirit of
public engagement, and its members may indeed reflect with great
pride on the exemplary model of citizenship they have set for their
fellow Texans; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas

Republican Women, North Shore Republican Women, Lake Conroe Area
