R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, The year 2008 marked the 50th anniversary of the
  founding of the Sonora Chamber of Commerce; and
         WHEREAS, This vital organization dates back to October 1958,
  when several interested Sonora residents convened to discuss the
  possibility of establishing a local chamber; they agreed
  unanimously that such a group would benefit the city and
  subsequently elected the chamber's first board of directors; the
  meeting also resulted in 66 signed membership cards and some $600
  pledged in monthly dues; and
         WHEREAS, Today, the chamber boasts more than 200 business
  memberships and is an integral part of the community; in addition to
  promoting local businesses, it organizes civic activities and
  festivals and works to attract tourism to the area; and
         WHEREAS, Dedicated to fostering economic growth, the Sonora
  Chamber of Commerce has contributed significantly to the city's
  development, and it is a pleasure to commend its members, both past
  and present, for their vision, leadership, and commitment; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sonora
  Chamber of Commerce and extend to all those affiliated with the
  organization sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Sonora Chamber of Commerce as an expression of high
  regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
