SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 706
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Trinity Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, on the
occasion of its 12th Annual Diamonds and Sneakers Gala; and
WHEREAS, The Trinity Chapter of The Links was chartered in
1994 to serve the Dallas community by planning and providing
transformational programs under The Links, Incorporated's five
facets; and
WHEREAS, The annual Diamonds and Sneakers Gala funds the
chapter's core scholarships and programs, including the So
SMAART mentorship program for minority girls; this signature
youth program stands for Set on Science and Engineering,
Mathematics, the Arts, Aviation, Reading, and Technology, and it
helps inspire girls from fourth through eighth grades to pursue
careers in these important fields; and
WHEREAS, To date, So SMAART has inspired more than 1,300
girls in the Dallas community to believe in their abilities and
to consistently strive to achieve their dreams; several early
graduates of the program have gone on to build careers in math,
education, law, and medicine, and all associated with the Trinity
Chapter are deserving of recognition for helping each of them
reach their goals; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby commend the Trinity Chapter of The Links,
Incorporated, for their many contributions to the Dallas
community and extend to them best wishes for a successful 12th
