H.R. No. 1413 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Proud members of the Texas State Federation of | ||
Garden Clubs are gathering for their 60th annual state convention | ||
on April 21, 2017, in Dallas; and | ||
WHEREAS, The organization's roots can be traced back to | ||
October 1957, when representatives from garden clubs throughout the | ||
state met to establish the State Federation of Garden Clubs, | ||
Incorporated; the following year, the first regular meeting | ||
convened at St. John Baptist Church in Dallas; and | ||
WHEREAS, With a mission to encourage civic beautification by | ||
fostering a love of flowers and plants, the federation seeks to | ||
provide education about the art and science of cultivating plants | ||
and to aid in the protection and conservation of natural resources; | ||
members of the group's local clubs in Dallas, Houston, Denton, | ||
Tyler, and Bryan accomplish these goals by facilitating hands-on | ||
learning experiences and by training youth garden clubs; | ||
furthermore, in 2002, the organization established the Frankie | ||
Huckaby Scholarship to promote studies in horticulture, | ||
floriculture, landscape architecture, and other related fields; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, For six decades, the Texas State Federation of | ||
Garden Clubs has promoted a love of gardening across the Lone Star | ||
State, and its members are indeed worthy of recognition for their | ||
contributions to preserving and enhancing the beauty of our | ||
landscapes; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 60th annual state convention of | ||
the Texas State Federation of Garden Clubs and extend to all those | ||
associated with the organization sincere best wishes for a | ||
successful and memorable event; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the federation as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
