| WHEREAS, The Senate Ladies Club originated in 1927 as a | ||
| social club for ladies who accompanied their husbands to Austin | ||

| 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 | ||

| new members of the Senate and their spouses; the club meets | ||
| frequently during the regular session; and | ||

| 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 | ||

| and is being honored this year for her 26 years of loyal | ||
| membership and outstanding service; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||

| lady and commend her for her accomplishments and contributions to | ||
| our state; and, be it further | ||
