WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to join | ||
the Senate Ladies Club in honoring those ladies who have been | ||
club members for 25 years or more; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Senate Ladies Club originated in 1927 as a | ||
social club for ladies who accompanied their husbands to Austin | ||
for the 40th Legislative Session; the club was organized to | ||
provide a means by which the ladies could become better | ||
acquainted with one another and introduce themselves to the | ||
Austin community; and | ||
WHEREAS, The club has a tradition of hosting a dinner the | ||
Monday preceding the opening of the legislative session to honor | ||
the governor and lieutenant governor and their spouses and the | ||
new members of the Senate and their spouses; the club meets | ||
frequently during the regular session; and | ||
WHEREAS, Active members are those women serving in the | ||
Senate and the wives of senators; associate members are women who | ||
are former senators or wives of former senators; and honorary | ||
members are the spouses of the current governor, lieutenant | ||
governor, and the attorney general; membership in the club is, in | ||
effect, a life membership--"Once a Senate Lady, always a Senate | ||
Lady"; and | ||
WHEREAS, Tana Christie joined the Senate Ladies Club in | ||
1967 and is being honored this year for her 50 years of loyal | ||
membership and outstanding service; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby pay special tribute to this distinguished | ||
lady and commend her for her accomplishments and contributions to | ||
our state; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for her | ||
as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
