ABOUT THE CHILDREN OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS

Objectives

To encourage the study of Texas History:

To help preserve the places made sacred by the men and women who achieved Texas Independence,

To foster the preservations of documents and relics;

History

On March 1, 1929, during the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Convention, a motion was made and passed that the DRT sponsor a junior organization to be known as the “Children of the Republic of Texas”. The first CRT chapter organized was the Alamo Mission Chapter in San Antonio, with 34 members.

Motto

“Not for self, but for Texas!”

CRT Flag

In 1994, then President General conducted a CRT Official Flag Contest and the Board of Management adopted the flag during their meeting held prior to the annual CRT Convention. During his tenure as 2006-2007 Custodian General Reed Denton conducted a fundraiser for his officer’s general project and had the flag commissioned.

History of Our State Song

The late William Marsh and Gladys Yoakum Wright wrote the lyrics and William J. Marsh wrote the music. This song was the winner of a state song contest sponsored by the legislature and adopted in 1929. The wording changed once shortly after Alaska became a state in 1959, Mr. Marsh changed the word “largest” in the third line to “boldest”.

TEXAS HONOR AND MEMORIAL DAYS

September 17 – Texian Navy Day

Texian Navy Day honors the courage and determination of the small Texian Navy who, by 1842 had helped secure the Gulf of Mexico and protect Texas independence on the sea. It also pays tribute to the 1832 Battle of Velasco, when Texian Volunteers on sea and land fought an early skirmish for their rights. (Celebrated on the 3rd Saturday of September.)

September 29 – French Legation Day

This day honors the signing of the treaty between French and the Republic of Texas, which led to the establishment of the French Legation in Austin. This building is one of the only foreign embassy standing in an American city outside of Washington D.C. It serves as a reminder of the independent Texas Republic.

October 2 – Gonzales Day

Gonzales Day is in remembrance of the first skirmish fought in the Texas War for independence. On October 2, 1835, the citizens of Gonzales refused to give up a small cannon to the Mexican Military. Texians rallied around a flag with a cannon and a single black star, with the legend “Come and Take It!” The Mexican troops retreated to San Antonio. The Texians, under Stephen F. Austin organized an army and followed. Gonzales is remembered as “The Lexington of Texas.”

November 3 – Stephen F. Austin’s Birthday

Honoring “The Father of Texas” who brought the first 300 Anglo families into Texas beginning in 1822 and who helped guide Texas during the difficult years under the Mexican flag. Austin served as the first commander of the Texas Army during the War for Texas Independence and later served as a commissioner to the United States. He was also the first to hold office as Secretary of State of the Texian Republic. Austin died in December of 1836 and is now buried in the State Cemetery in Austin.

November 6 – DRT Founder’s Day

DRT Founder’s Day honors the 1891 chartering of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas at “The Cradle” in Galveston. The surviving members of the Texas Veterans Association passed the legacy of the Texian Republic to the DRT who vowed to keep the memory and spirit of early Texas alive for generations to come.

January 26 – Mirabeau B. Lamar Day

Lamar, second president of the Texas Republic, advocated setting aside land for public schools. This resulted in the Texas Congress establishing a system of public education. During Lamar’s term as president, the city of Austin was created and made the state capital. Lamar also approved the design of the state flag and seal. He is known as the “Father of Education.” Lamar University in Beaumont is named in his honor.

February 19 – Texas Statehood Day

Statehood Day honors Texas’ entry into the United States as the 28th state of the Union. Following a vote of the Texas people to annex themselves to the United States, President John Tyler admitted Texas into the Union in December 1845. The actual change of government from an independent nation to state came on February 19, 1846, when Texas President Anson Jones lowered the Texas flag at the state capitol and the United Sates flag was raised in its place.

9

March 2 – Texas Independence Day

This day honors the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence at Washington-on-the-Brazos. As Colonel William B. Travis and the brave defenders of the Alamo withstood Santa Anna’s army, the fifty-nine delegates representing each of the Texas colonies and municipalities gathered in Convention and declared Texas an independent nation. An ad-interim government was elected with David G. Burnet as President and Lorenzo de Zavala as Vice-President. A Constitution was adopted on March 17, 1836.

March 6 – Alamo Heroes Day

Alamo Heroes Day honors the heroic sacrifices of the less than 200 Texian citizen-soldiers who defended the Alamo from February 23 – March 6, 1836. Electing to fight to the death rather than surrender, they gave their lives in order that Texas might live, and their sacrifice was not in vain. The battle cry “Remember the Alamo!” became the rallying point for the Texian people and continues to inspire Texans and Americans. The Alamo has become an international symbol of courage, honor, and the love of liberty and is visited by over 3 million people each year.

March 27 – Goliad Heroes Day

Goliad Day honors those who gave their lives in the cause of Texas Independence at Goliad. Following the fall of the Alamo, part of Santa Anna’s army attacked Colonel Fannin’s troops at Goliad. Fannin was forced to surrender after the battle of Coleto Creek on March 19-20, 1836. He and his men were promised fair treatment and parole, but Santa Anna ordered that all prisoners be shot. On March 27, over 320 unknowing Texian prisoners were marched out and executed. This was the largest loss of life in the battle for Texas Independence. “Remember Goliad” became one of the great battle cries at San Jacinto. When we remember Goliad, we also remember those who gave their lives at Refugio, Coleto Creek, and San Patricio, as well as Pachita Alavez, “The Angel of Goliad,” who helped save several of the Texian prisoners from being shot.

April 21 – San Jacinto Day

San Jacinto Day honors the victory of the Texian Army over Santa Anna. On April 21, 1836, forty-six days after the fall of the Alamo, led less than 1000 Texians against the Mexican Army. With the battle cries of “Remember the Alamo” and “Remember Goliad” ringing in their ears, Texian troops took less than 20 minutes to defeat more than 1600 Mexican soldiers. Santa Anna was captured and promised to remove his army from Texas. This secured the independence of the Texian people who went on to build a great Republic and state.

VOTING AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE ELIGIBILITY

Who is eligible to vote? Delegates 10-21 years of age

All CRT delegates present during the CRT annual convention will be eligible to vote. Voting delegates will be identified with some type of distinction and will have designated seating during the business meeting of the annual convention.

What do you vote about? CRT Business and Election of Officers

Voting activity may include items presented from the CRT Board of Management as well as election of officers. An example may be a bylaw change: A proposed amendment will be read to the assembly and/or handouts may be made available. There will be a motion and a second if coming from a member. If the motion is from a committee the motion does not need a second. Eligible CRT members may ask any question during the discussion time. Before speaking the member shall wait to be recognized by the President General or Chairman in charge. When recognized identify yourself by your name and chapter and then state your amendment, question or proposal. There will also be a time for Unfinished and New Business and this would also be a time of asking and voting.

CRT Board of Management Elections. The nominating committee chairman will recommend a slate of officers for the upcoming officer elections. A CRT delegate may nominate any candidate not recommended by the Nominating Committee from the floor. If there is more than one candidate for an office, each candidate will be allowed to speak about his or her qualifications for the office. When more than one candidate is nominated, a written ballot is cast by each voting member. Adult tellers will distribute the ballot, collect, count and report the results to the CRT President General and the DRT 3rd Vice President General/CRT Director for reporting. If only one candidate is presented, that vote can be by acclamation.

CRT Nominating Committee Information

One voting aged delegate from each chapter, present at the annual convention on Friday, may serve as a member of the CRT Nominating Committee (All chapters present are encouraged to send a delegate to the committee meeting). The Nominating Committee with the guidance of the DRT 3rd VP General/CRT Director will elect a chairman before any business may be conducted. During the meeting, a slate of CRT Board of Management officers will be selected to recommend to the assembly during the Saturday business meeting of convention. All candidates must complete the required application, which has a posted deadline on Friday of the convention. The application deadline time and nomination forms are available online, at the convention registration table as well as in the end of this book. When a chapter’s member attends the nominating committee meeting, they will have the application to review for each office a candidate has selected. The nominating committee will select the candidate they feel best qualified for the office. The nominating committee will be able to discuss all candidates who have applied for an office to determine which person is best qualified. The nominating committee’s recommendations are by vote with the majority selecting the candidate. If there is only one candidate for an office, that person may be selected or the office may be left vacant if recommended of the committee. Candidates may select more than one office and the nominating committee may recommend the candidate for a 2nd or 3rd choice on the application. The nominating committee may also select a candidate for an office for which they did not apply for if a candidate accepts. The DRT 3rd VP General/CRT Director will serve as an advisor and may select an adult to assist as secretary for the committee. No other adults are allowed so delegates may have the opportunity to participate in a democratic process through this leadership opportunity. If a candidate for office is also serving as chapter representative he or she must leave the room before the office may be discussed. The member may return once the discussion for the particular office is complete.

Dear CRT Members, Associate Members, and CRT Sponsors,

First of all, thank you to all the ladies of District VII for hosting CRT Convention this year and to all the CRT members who attended convention. What an honor it was to be elected as President General and I look forward to our year together.

Our theme this year is “My Fellow Citizens” and with that phrase, we hope to encourage good citizenship and pay homage to the “sites and citizens” during the Texas Republic.

My project is to mark the “sites and citizens” of the Texas Republic with the respective memorial medallions. Each medallion has certain requirements, so please see my project sheet or the DRT website for details.

Please consider donating or purchasing raffle chances to support this project and receive a beautiful James Avery Texas shaped pendant with a diamond inset! Also, feel free to complete a medallion application! As the funds allow, medallions may be purchased, placed and recognized with a ceremony.

Remember, citizenship is as important to us today as it was to our forefathers. They sacrificed for liberty and the right to be a citizen of the Republic of Texas. Their sites are also important to us, and so, “be a good citizen” and pay tribute to their efforts.

My Fellow Citizens, mark your calendars to attend the 2017 CRT Annual Convention June 23-24, at The Inn of the Hills, Kerrville, TX. Please encourage your CRT chapter members to come as well! Coming to convention is fun and important for our future! Let’s make 2016-2017 a great year for CRT and increase our citizenship.

God Bless Texas,

Boone Denton Boone Denton CRT President General 2016-2017 [email protected]
