WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to welcome | ||
Ariana Jones, the reigning Feria de las Flores queen, and the | ||
contestants of the 2017 Scholarship Pageant to the Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, The pageant has been sponsored by the League of | ||
United Latin American Citizens Council Number 1 since 1959; | ||
through the years, the council has relied on the generosity and | ||
support of the South Texas business community and has raised more | ||
than $1 million in scholarship funds for students from the | ||
Coastal Bend region; and | ||
WHEREAS, This outstanding event pays tribute to the heritage | ||
of Mexican American citizens and features music, dance, and dress | ||
that exemplify the various regions of our state's neighbor to the | ||
south; contestants in the pageant are judged on their performance | ||
in the categories of beauty, personality, poise, costume, dance | ||
routine, and onstage question; and | ||
WHEREAS, Joining last year's winner, Ariana Jones, are the | ||
talented contestants in this year's pageant: Victoria Morin, | ||
Mireya Medina, Megan Lopez, Corina Alegria, Desney Torres, | ||
Katherine Flores, Valeria Arredondo, Antoinette Castillo, Kelly | ||
Flores, Mikayla Mondragon, Camryn Caylor, and Roslyn Jimenez; and | ||
WHEREAS, These young women have demonstrated great cultural | ||
pride and community spirit through their participation in this | ||
exemplary event, and it is truly fitting that they receive special | ||
recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the reigning queen of Feria de las | ||
Flores, Ariana Jones, and the contestants of the 2017 Scholarship | ||
Pageant on their hard work and extend to them a sincere welcome to | ||
the Capitol; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
