	H.R. No. 13



	R E S O L U T I O N
	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
