|
||
WHEREAS, The Newton Garden Club celebrated the 50th | ||
anniversary of its founding in 2012; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established by 39 charter members, the Newton Garden | ||
Club was led by president Helen Syler when it held its inaugural | ||
meeting at First United Methodist Church in September 1962; today, | ||
the organization continues to affirm the original purpose laid out | ||
in the bylaws to "stimulate the love of gardening, encourage home | ||
and community beautification, promote better horticultural | ||
practices, and to encourage all forms of conservation"; and | ||
WHEREAS, Each year, the garden club hosts a flower show where | ||
area residents enjoy showcasing their projects; members have worked | ||
to beautify the city by planting and maintaining gardens at the | ||
county courthouse and at the Powell Hotel Museum, where they placed | ||
a plaque to honor those who have served in our nation's military; in | ||
addition, the group has planted more than 2,000 daffodils, which | ||
bring vibrant color to the community each year; and | ||
WHEREAS, For half a century, the Newton Garden Club has | ||
provided its members an opportunity to set aside their daily cares | ||
and enjoy the happiness found in creating a thing of beauty, and | ||
through their efforts, they have brightened the lives of their | ||
fellow residents; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor the Newton Garden Club on the 50th | ||
anniversary of its founding and extend to its members best wishes | ||
for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
