| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Bethune Woman's Club, which is celebrating 80 years | ||
| of dedicated service to the people of the Brazos Valley; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Founded in 1945 as the Negro Woman's Club, the | ||
| Bethune Woman's Club has persisted throughout the previous eight | ||
| decades and has upheld the club's founding mission to support | ||
| recreational, civic, and charitable work in the region; the club | ||
| was renamed for Mary Jane McLeod Bethune, an African American | ||
| educator who founded Bethune-Cookman College and helped to form | ||
| the National Council of Negro Women; she served as vice president | ||
| of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People | ||
| and served as an advisor to multiple American presidents; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Charter members first gathered in November of | ||
| 1945 at the Masonic Building in Bryan; the location of the club | ||
| house and youth center changed many times over the years before | ||
| the club settled into its main location at the North Bryan | ||
| Community Center, an effort that was achieved through a community | ||
| initiative led in 1990 by longstanding club president Mrs. Mell | ||
| Pruitt; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to serving as a recreational club for | ||
| youth, the Bethune Woman's Club has sponsored many scholarships | ||
| and events over the years, including an annual fall festival, a | ||
| fashion fair, and a Debutante Ball and Sweetheart Ball; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mattie Robinson Carter, the club's eighth and | ||
| current president, was elected in 2000; through her leadership | ||
| and the devoted efforts of this exemplary group of women, the | ||
| club has facilitated fund-raising and has focused on technology | ||
| and creating opportunities for local residents to become | ||
| digitally educated citizens and problem solvers; club members | ||
| have done much for the betterment of their community, and it is | ||
| indeed fitting that they receive special recognition for their | ||
| service; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend the members of | ||
| the Bethune Woman's Club for their dedication to the community | ||
| and extend sincere best wishes to all for continued success in | ||
| the decades to come; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the club as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
