County Republican Women Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, The program of events for this day has been planned
by the Dallas County Council of Republican Women, which serves as
the umbrella organization for the many Republican Women clubs

clubs with resources for their endeavors and to coordinate their
efforts to elect Republican candidates for public office at the

the DCCRW organizes grassroots activities designed to educate women
about the issues of the day and motivate them to vote in the
November election; members also give freely of their time and
energies in behalf of military personnel and their families,
assisting at various troop-related events and gathering at the
airport to show support and appreciation for those who are
deploying and to extend a warm and grateful welcome to those who are
returning; the clubs affiliated with the DCCRW also participate in
myriad additional outreach efforts; and
WHEREAS, Setting an admirable example for their fellow
Texans, the members of the Dallas County Council of Republican
Women are working diligently to secure a brighter future for their
community, state, and nation, and they may reflect with great pride

now, therefore, be it
