WHEREAS, The Clover Club of Kaufman celebrated its 125th

1897, when its four charter members founded a club to study American
history and literature; the group was initially known as the
Four-Leaf Clover Club, and in 1899, its name was shortened to the
Clover Club; in 1903, the group joined the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, an international organization dedicated to
philanthropy and volunteerism; and

tirelessly to improve the quality of life in the community; it
played an instrumental role in establishing the Kaufman County
Library in 1968, and it has continued to contribute to the library
through monetary donations; moreover, the club has supported a
variety of initiatives focused on arts and culture, the
environment, education, civic engagement, and health and wellness;
and
WHEREAS, Today, the Clover Club benefits from the able
guidance of president Barbara Harvey, and its members have the
opportunity to participate in a number of education, training, and
leadership programs; the organization has received honors from the
City of Kaufman and the General Federation of Women's Clubs; and
WHEREAS, For more than a century, the members of the Clover
Club of Kaufman have been a dynamic and positive force in their
community, and it is a pleasure to recognize the group for its long
history of exceptional service; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Clover Club of Kaufman on its
125th anniversary and extend to all those associated with the club
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
