WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the members of the Daughters of the American Revolution | ||
on the founding of the organization's new chapter in Bosque | ||
County; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Daughters of the American Revolution was | ||
established in 1890 with headquarters in Washington, D.C.; it is | ||
a nonpolitical volunteer women's service organization, and its | ||
members devote thousands of hours annually to aiding veterans and | ||
to securing funding for scholarships to students and financial | ||
aid to underserved children; the organization is dedicated to | ||
promoting patriotism and preserving American history; and | ||
WHEREAS, Historical records indicate that settlement in | ||
Bosque County began in the mid-1800s, and each principal town was | ||
colonized along the Bosque River; the river was the lifeline of | ||
the settlers, whose survival depended on its water and the | ||
wildlife and timber that surrounded its banks; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Bosque County chapter of the Daughters of the | ||
American Revolution is being officially established with an | ||
organizational meeting and the installation of officers on | ||
February 2, 2013; the new chapter's officers are: Sue Moore | ||
Fielden, organizing regent; Phyllis Alford Olson, vice regent; | ||
Therissa Crabtree Young, chaplain; Ruth Ann Nelson Crawford, | ||
recording secretary; MaryLynn Murphey Haynes, corresponding | ||
secretary; Ann Groom Lenz, treasurer; Naomi Young Nabors, | ||
registrar; Marilyn Maxwell Holland, historian; and Betty Urban | ||
preserve the rich history of Bosque County and to promote | ||
American patriotism and the study of American history among area | ||
citizens; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of this event and as an expression of high regard from the | ||
Texas Senate. | ||
