H.R. No. 710
                                  R E S O L U T I O N
    1-1        WHEREAS, In today's hectic, fast-paced world, few people have
    1-2  enough time to complete the myriad responsibilities placed on them
    1-3  as they attempt to meet the demands of their professions, families,
    1-4  and society at large; and
    1-5        WHEREAS, For many, the cost of purchasing a home has become
    1-6  prohibitive while apartment living offers numerous amenities close
    1-7  at hand for tenants to enjoy, such as swimming pools, clubhouse
    1-8  settings for private parties, laundry facilities, security, and a
    1-9  sense of community that can often be lacking in residential
   1-10  neighborhoods; and
   1-11        WHEREAS, Others who can afford to buy homes make a conscious
   1-12  decision to live in apartments instead where everyday tasks can be
   1-13  taken care of for them by others, enabling them to find the time to
   1-14  more fully devote themselves to their families, careers, studies,
   1-15  and leisure time activities; and
   1-16        WHEREAS, For anyone who has ever lived in an apartment, the
   1-17  apartment manager plays a pivotal role in making the experience a
   1-18  pleasurable one by fulfilling a wide variety of duties designed to
   1-19  meet the needs of tenants; and
   1-20        WHEREAS, Serving a clientele as varied as the tasks they are
   1-21  asked to perform, this hard-working group of professionals is
   1-22  required to serve as an all-knowing resource for tenants,
   1-23  cheerfully accepting complaints, keeping up with maintenance
   1-24  responsibilities, ensuring the safety of tenants, and a host of
    2-1  other duties; and
    2-2        WHEREAS, These dedicated individuals often are required to be
    2-3  on call 24 hours a day to ensure that they provide tenants with the
    2-4  assistance they need to make their apartments welcome homes to
    2-5  return to each day, and the property management community in Texas
    2-6  is indeed deserving of special legislative commendation for its
    2-7  continuing contributions in this regard; now, therefore, be it
    2-8        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
    2-9  Legislature hereby designate June 1, 1993, as Apartment Managers
   2-10  Day in Texas in recognition of the important role these
   2-11  professionals play in the lives of countless Texans.
   2-12  professionals play in the lives of countless Texans.
