Honoring the Denton, Texas League of United Latin American
Citizens Council #4366
Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the League of United Latin American Citizens Council
#4366 in Denton, Texas. This group is being recognized by Texas Women's University as a
2008 Texas Women's University Founders Award recipient.
The Denton LULAC Council #4366 was established in 1981 under the leadership of charter
president Frank Devila and 10 other Denton community leaders. Today, members serve on a
number of Denton boards and committees, including the Denton Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce as well as the committees for the Cinco de Mayo, Cena en el Barrio and Fiesta on
the Square celebrations.
For more than five years, the Denton LULAC Council #4366 has partnered with Texas
Women's University to award scholarships to deserving Hispanic students in the North Texas
area. Since 2002, the organization has awarded scholarships to 13 Hispanic students at Texas
Women's University.
Chancellor of Texas Women's University, Ann Stuart, has said that the university is fortunate
to have partners such as Denton LULAC join them in their mission of educating the state's
future leaders.
The Texas Women's University Founders Award is presented to honor organizations and
individuals who have supported Texas Women's University. I am proud to honor the Denton
LULAC Council #4366. This group of dedicated and silrvice-oriented individuals is very
deserving of this award, and I am proud to represent"citizen, n e �' Congressional
