            the lives of underserved women and children since retiring; over 
         
            the course of nearly 25 years as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, 
         
            Ms. Ellis has provided indispensable support to more than 50 
         
            children; she has further championed the needs of area children

            Hays County Women's Political Caucus; moreover, she has generously 
         
            contributed to her congregation at St. Mark's Episcopal Church as a 
         
            member of both the School of Wisdom Committee and the handbell 
         
            choir; and
         
                   WHEREAS, Nancy Ellis has set an inspiring example of 
         
            volunteerism and civic leadership, and the citizens of San Marcos 
         
            are fortunate indeed to count her among their fellow residents; 
         
            now, therefore, be it
         
                   RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
