R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The well-being of our state's senior citizens 
depends in part on organizations that provide information and 
resources vital to enhancing their quality of life; and
	WHEREAS, With more than 35 million members, the AARP 
addresses the needs and interests of persons age 50 and older by 
providing information on issues important to this growing 
demographic group, advocating on consumer and legal issues, and 
promoting community service; and
	WHEREAS, On May 21, 2005, residents of El Paso are welcoming 
the grand opening of an AARP Information Center, a "one-stop shop" 
for older Texans and their families to learn about local, state, and 
national issues that affect seniors; with an estimated 37,000 AARP 
members, El Paso is the second city in Texas, after Houston, to host 
such a center; and
	WHEREAS, Bringing invaluable resources to the area, the AARP 
Information Center will undoubtedly enrich the lives of local 
residents, and all those associated with the organization merit 
special recognition for bringing this important project to 
fruition; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commemorate the grand opening of the AARP 
Information Center in El Paso and extend to AARP-Texas sincere best 
wishes for success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the center as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.

                                                                     Quintanilla

	I certify that H.R. No. 1850 was adopted by the House on May 
25, 2005, by a non-record vote.
