H.R. No. 168 is a resolution honoring the El Dorado Social Club as it celebrates its 100th anniversary on February 7, 2025, at the Stafford Centre. The club was founded in 1925 by a group of students from the old Colored High School in Houston, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem "El Dorado." The club's first president, Joe Parker, and its charter members adopted the motto "Searching for El Dorado" and chose blue and gold as their official colors, symbolizing integrity and loyalty to their community ideals. Over the years, the organization has evolved, including the formation of an auxiliary group for members' wives, known as the Eldorettes, while continuing to uphold the principles established by its founders.

The resolution acknowledges the significant impact the El Dorado Social Club has had on its members and the wider community throughout its century-long history. It expresses the Texas House of Representatives' sincere best wishes for the future of the organization and directs that an official copy of the resolution be prepared for the club as a token of high regard. The resolution was adopted by the House on February 5, 2025, by a non-record vote.
