H.R. No. 47 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The late Helen Alcala is being posthumously honored | ||
as a namesake candidate for the Child Nutrition Center at the Hays | ||
Consolidated Independent School District; and | ||
WHEREAS, A third-generation native of the Buda area, | ||
Mrs. Alcala worked as a child nutrition employee at the historic | ||
Buda School campus for many years; following her retirement from | ||
Hays CISD, she accepted a position as a cook at the Texas School for | ||
the Deaf; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Alcala and her husband, Pedro "Pete" Alcala, | ||
opened Casa Alde, the first Mexican restaurant in Buda, in July | ||
1980; under their able stewardship, the business gained a loyal | ||
following, and after Mr. Alcala's passing in 1992, Mrs. Alcala | ||
continued to oversee its operations; she later stepped away from | ||
working at the restaurant, but she still made regular appearances | ||
to greet customers until her health declined in 2016, a short time | ||
before her death on June 11, 2017; today, Casa Alde is the oldest | ||
eatery on Main Street, and it has remained a popular family-owned | ||
establishment; and | ||
WHEREAS, Helen Alcala set an inspiring example of hard work, | ||
dedication, and leadership, and it is a pleasure to join Hays CISD | ||
in honoring her memory and recognizing her many achievements; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the legacy | ||
of Helen Alcala on her posthumous selection as a namesake candidate | ||
for the Child Nutrition Center at the Hays Consolidated Independent | ||
School District; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for her family as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
