WHEREAS, Proud residents of East Tawakoni are celebrating the |
|
|
40th anniversary of the founding of their town with their annual |
|

Spirit of East Tawakoni Festival on June 2 and 3, 2007; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established on June 6, 1967, on the eastern shore of |
|

Lake Tawakoni, East Tawakoni was the third town in Rains County; |
|
|
starting with 200 inhabitants, the city doubled in size in 1986 with |
|
|
the annexation of Blue Heron Cove; over the years it has financed |
|
|
and built a water distribution system and a sewer plant, and now has |
|
|
a police force, a volunteer fire department, and 783 registered |
|
|
voters; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, East Tawakoni provides residents and visitors alike |
|
|
with many opportunities for swimming, boating, picnicking, and duck |
|
|
hunting, and it is likewise known for its fine fishing, |
|
|
particularly of catfish, white bass, and striped bass; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This attractive and relaxed lakeshore community |
|
|
offers the peace and comfort of rural life as well as easy access to |
|
|
the amenities of Dallas, and it is fitting to recognize this unique |
|
|
Texas town at this time; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate East Tawakoni on the 40th |
|
|
anniversary of its founding and extend to its citizens best wishes |
|
|
for a fine birthday celebration; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for East Tawakoni as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
