|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Fannie Marchman Garden Club in Mineola is | ||
| celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2011, and this occasion offers | ||
| a fitting opportunity to recognize the group's many contributions | ||
| to the community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Established in 1936 by women from Mineola and | ||
| neighboring Grand Saline, the garden club has completed a host of | ||
| local beautification projects through the years; early efforts | ||
| included landscaping and maintaining the grounds of the city | ||
| cemetery and developing a park beside the Quitman highway; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, the club remains dedicated to the mission | ||
| laid out in its constitution: the mutual improvement of its members | ||
| in gardening and civic pride; the group has sponsored flower shows, | ||
| participated in the local Christmas parade, and hosted fund-raisers | ||
| to support a variety of worthwhile projects; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mineola City Hall, the civic center, and area | ||
| schools and nursing homes have benefited from the efforts of the | ||
| club; recognized for its outstanding work, the organization has | ||
| earned the Environmental Improvement Award from Sears and first | ||
| place honors from the National Council of State Garden Clubs for | ||
| establishing Mineola as a bird sanctuary; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For three quarters of a century, the Fannie Marchman | ||
| Garden Club has provided members an opportunity to set aside the | ||
| cares of daily life and enjoy the happiness found in creating | ||
| beautiful gardens, and in turn, they have brightened the lives of | ||
| their fellow citizens through their careful stewardship of the | ||
| natural world; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby congratulate the Fannie Marchman Garden Club on the | ||
| milestone of its 75th anniversary and extend to all those | ||
| associated with the group sincere best wishes for continued | ||
| success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the club as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
