established in San Antonio in October 1955; with more than 300

encouraging women to run for office, and electing Republican

closely with other Republican organizations to train volunteers and
provide support for local and statewide campaigns through voter
registration and outreach activities, political rallies, forums,
and legislative day events; and
WHEREAS, This notable organization embodies a spirit of
public engagement, and its members may 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 88th Texas
