R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Advisory Council of the Lively Park Senior 
Activity Center of Irving has dedicated significant time and energy 
to meeting the needs of senior citizens in the Metroplex, and it is 
a pleasure to welcome this group to Austin for Senior Day at the 
Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, In the mid-1970s, the Irving Parks and Recreation 
Department took notice of the growing need for a senior citizen 
facility and established the Senter Park Senior Center; the center 
held classes, organized fun and educational events for area 
seniors, and offered popular programs sponsored by the state Area 
Agencies on Aging; and
	WHEREAS, The continued growth of the senior population in 
Irving prompted the creation of the Lively Park Senior Activity 
Center in 1988; adopting a new name, the facility continues to offer 
many of the programs available at Senter Park, while consistently 
introducing innovative new ideas; and
	WHEREAS, The center has hosted visitors from across the 
nation and the world who wish to replicate the success of Lively 
Park; its ever-growing popularity has led to yet another expansion, 
with an impressive new facility currently under construction; and
	WHEREAS, Lively Park Senior Activity Center has truly 
benefited the senior population of Irving and, thanks to the hard 
work and commitment of the advisory council, this exemplary 
facility will continue to enrich the lives of seniors for many years 
to come; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby welcome the members of the Lively Park Senior 
Activity Center Advisory Council and commend them for their 
dedication to the senior citizens of Irving; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the advisory council as an expression of high regard by 
the Texas House of Representatives.
