| H.R. No. 13 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, La Sociedad Mutualista de Cuauhtémoc has | ||
| demonstrated a steadfast commitment to supporting Mexican American | ||
| residents of San Marcos; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In response to a lack of civic, business, and | ||
| educational resources, Mexican Americans in San Marcos began | ||
| establishing mutual aid societies in the early 1900s; in 1942, the | ||
| general consul of Mexico suggested the formation of an honorary | ||
| commission to represent the area's Mexican American residents, | ||
| which soon led to the creation of La Sociedad Mutualista de | ||
| Cuauhtémoc; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since its founding, the organization has worked to | ||
| promote and preserve the heritage and cultural identity of the | ||
| Mexican American community and to provide necessary services to its | ||
| members; its civic programs and initiatives have included free | ||
| summer day camps, scholarships for graduating high school seniors, | ||
| financial assistance for funeral expenses, and even medical advice; | ||
| moreover, the organization developed El Parque Cuauhtémoc in the | ||
| Victory Gardens subdivision, and the park's Cuauhtémoc Hall has | ||
| become a popular venue for community events and cultural | ||
| celebrations such as Cinco de Mayo, Dies y Seis de Septiembre, and | ||
| Día de la Raza; and | ||
| WHEREAS, True to its mission, La Sociedad Mutualista de | ||
| Cuauhtémoc has served as an essential resource for the Mexican | ||
| American community in San Marcos and beyond, and the organization | ||
| is indeed deserving of special recognition for its contributions; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor La Sociedad | ||
| Mutualista de Cuauhtémoc and extend to all those associated with | ||
| the organization sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for La Sociedad Mutualista de Cuauhtémoc as an expression | ||
| of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
| Zwiener | ||
