SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 574
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Gabriel Thomas McDowell and Drew Christian McDowell on
their initiative and hard work in learning about the legislative
process; and
WHEREAS, While working together in a family setting
studying the state's official symbols, Gabriel and Drew, aged
eight and six respectively, noted the absence of an official
state cupcake; and
WHEREAS, These two determined young Texans set out to find
the state's best cupcake, combining their quest with the
Magnolia, Texas, Relay for Life, an all-night event whose purpose
is to raise money for cancer research; and
WHEREAS, Their team, Craving a Cure, sought contestants
from bakeries, cupcakeries, and individual bakers across the
state and received more than 300 donated cupcakes, with 20
different flavors entered in the bake-off in service of this
worthy cause; and
WHEREAS, Gabriel and Drew are truly deserving of
recognition for their perseverance and their hard work, not only
in raising money for cancer research, but in their pursuit of
knowledge about the legislative process in our state; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
Legislature, hereby commend Gabriel Thomas McDowell and
Drew Christian McDowell on their initiative and resolve and
extend to them best wishes for continued success in their quest
for knowledge; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
