H.R. No. 143

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Organizing members of the Bosque River Valley
Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution are gathering
on February 2, 2013, for the inaugural meeting of their group; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1890, the Daughters of the American
Revolution is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving
American history, promoting patriotism, and advancing education
for all; the DAR puts these principles into practice through a wide
variety of activities, such as assisting veterans, providing
scholarships, and supporting underserved schools; and
WHEREAS, Charter members of the Bosque River Valley Chapter
of the DAR selected the name of their group because of the river's
significance to early settlers in the area; beginning in the
mid-1800s, pioneer communities sprang up along the banks of the
Bosque, and the abundant resources associated with the river proved
essential to their survival; and
WHEREAS, More than 30 women have joined together to organize
the Bosque River Valley Chapter, among them the founding officers,
regent Sue Moore Fielden; vice-regent Phyllis Alford Olson;
chaplain Therissa Crabtree Young; recording secretary Ruth Ann
Nelson Crawford; corresponding secretary MaryLynn Murphey Haynes;
treasurer Ann Groom Lenz; registrar Naomi Young Nabors; historian
Marilyn Maxwell Holland; and librarian Betty Urban Johannes; and
WHEREAS, By establishing a local chapter of the DAR, the
members of this group have demonstrated a notable commitment to
conserving American history, and their organization will serve as a
vital source for the transmission of knowledge and tradition for
generations to come; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the founding of the Bosque River
Valley Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and
extend to the chapter's members sincere best wishes for success;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the chapter as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
