Bill > SR509

This resolution recognizes the General Federation of Women's Clubs of Texas, a community organization founded in 1897 with over 2,000 members across 78 local chapters, for its significant contributions to Texas communities. The resolution highlights the organization's impressive annual achievements, including awarding scholarships, dedicating nearly 96,000 volunteer hours to 2,245 community service projects, and donating approximately $400,000 in monetary gifts and $190,000 in in-kind contributions in 2024. The organization is specifically commended for its long-standing commitment to empowering women, fostering leadership, and addressing critical social issues like human trafficking. The Texas Senate officially recognizes the federation's 128-year legacy of service, acknowledges their efforts to improve lives and strengthen communities, and extends best wishes to the members during their visit to the State Capitol on May 13, 2025. As a formal gesture of appreciation, the Senate will prepare an official copy of the resolution for the federation.
