| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Pan American Round Tables of Texas on the occasion | ||
| of the organization's 100th anniversary; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Pan American Round Table Movement began in | ||
| 1916 as an endeavor of Florence Terry Griswold; a truly | ||
| compassionate Texan, she was determined to help the women and | ||
| children who had fled Mexico and had sought refuge from the | ||
| perils of revolution by making their way to San Antonio; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Pan Americanism was born as a result of the Monroe | ||
| Doctrine, which was issued to protect citizens of the Western | ||
| Hemisphere; the Pan American Round Table was created with a | ||
| mission to foster peace, mutual understanding, knowledge, and | ||
| friendship among all the people of the Western Hemisphere; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, the Pan American Round Tables of Texas has | ||
| 20 chapters across the state; members actively promote the | ||
| international organization's mission of service by awarding | ||
| local and statewide scholarships, and over the years, these | ||
| scholarships have made a difference in the lives of countless | ||
| individuals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Pan American Round Table has a special place | ||
| in our state's unique history, and under the exemplary leadership | ||
| of state director Isabel Vezzetti, the Texas chapters have | ||
| contributed greatly to the international organization's success; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend all the members of the Pan American | ||
| Round Tables of Texas for their outstanding work promoting peace | ||
| and mutual understanding among the people of the Western | ||
| Hemisphere and extend to them best wishes on the occasion of the | ||
| organization's 100th anniversary; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for this | ||
| organization as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
