WHEREAS, For more than eight decades, the Frisco Garden Club
has worked diligently to beautify public spaces and improve quality
of life in North Texas; and

Foreign Wars Memorial Day Service, and completing a number of other
worthwhile projects; moreover, the club works together with the
Frisco Educational Foundation to award scholarships to local
students seeking a college degree in horticulture, agricultural
sciences, or environmental sciences; and
WHEREAS, The Frisco Garden Club has brightened and enriched
the lives of fellow citizens through its careful stewardship of the
natural world, and its many achievements are indeed deserving of
special recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the Frisco Garden Club for its important
work in behalf of the community and extend to the club best wishes
for continued success; and, be it further
