R E S O L U T I O N
|
 
|
             WHEREAS, The late Helen Alcala is being posthumously honored |
 
|
as a namesake candidate for the Child Nutrition Center at the Hays |
 
|
Consolidated Independent School District; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, A third-generation native of the Buda area, |
 
|
Mrs.  Alcala worked as a child nutrition employee at the historic |
 
|
Buda School campus for many years; following her retirement from |
 
|
Hays CISD, she accepted a position as a cook at the Texas School for |
 
|
the Deaf; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Mrs.  Alcala and her husband, Pedro "Pete" Alcala, |
 
|
opened Casa Alde, the first Mexican restaurant in Buda, in July |
 
|
1980; under their able stewardship, the business gained a loyal |
 
|
following, and after Mr.  Alcala's passing in 1992, Mrs.  Alcala |
 
|
continued to oversee its operations; she later stepped away from |
 
|
working at the restaurant, but she still made regular appearances |
 
|
to greet customers until her health declined in 2016, a short time |
 
|
before her death on June 11, 2017; today, Casa Alde is the oldest |
 
|
eatery on Main Street, and it has remained a popular family-owned |
 
|
establishment; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Helen Alcala set an inspiring example of hard work, |
 
|
dedication, and leadership, and it is a pleasure to join Hays CISD |
 
|
in honoring her memory and recognizing her many achievements; now, |
 
|
therefore, be it |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
 
|
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the legacy |
 
|
of Helen Alcala on her posthumous selection as a namesake candidate |
 
|
for the Child Nutrition Center at the Hays Consolidated Independent |
 
|
School District; and, be it further |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
 
|
prepared for her family as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
 
|
House of Representatives. |
