R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Lake Highlands Women's League raised a
record-setting amount of money for charity with its 36th annual
Holiday in the Highlands Home Tour on December 5, 2014; and
WHEREAS, During this festive event each Christmas season,
residents of Lake Highlands generously open their beautiful homes
to generate funds in support of local schools and libraries,
nonprofit organizations, and scholarships for students at Lake
Highlands High School; this year, the tour raised $213,195, a sum
that exceeded last year's total by more than $15,000 and that
represented the highest amount ever raised by the tour; and
WHEREAS, Since 1969, the Lake Highlands Women's League has
dedicated itself to uniting and promoting Lake Highlands through
community service; over the past 45 years, the LHWL has awarded more
than $2.1 million to worthy causes, giving $1.5 million to
scholarship funds alone, and each year, league members contribute
over 2,500 volunteer hours; in addition to the Home Tour, members
sponsor a collection each September for the Network of Community
Ministries, and every spring, they express their appreciation to
local police officers and firefighters with a bountiful array of
home-baked treats; and
WHEREAS, The civic groups of the Lone Star State play an
indispensable role in improving the quality of life for countless
Texas residents, and the members of the Lake Highlands Women's
League may take great pride in their strong tradition of service to
others; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Lake Highlands Women's League
on the record-breaking success of its 2014 Holiday in the Highlands
Home Tour and extend to the league's members sincere best wishes for
continued success in their important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Lake Highlands Women's League as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
