WHEREAS, The McCamey Chamber of Commerce has celebrated an |
|
impressive milestone with the commemoration of its 50th anniversary |
|
in 2009; and |
|
WHEREAS, Situated on the windswept plains east of the Pecos |
|
River, McCamey is a warm-hearted community of hardworking citizens; |
|
the town was named for oil wildcatter George B. McCamey, who brought |
|
in a discovery well nearby in 1925; a townsite company was |
|
established the next day, and within six months, the new community |
|
of McCamey numbered 10,000; and |
|
WHEREAS, Still an important center for oil and ranching, |
|
McCamey has also become a center for wind energy, generated by long |
|
rows of giant turbines silhouetted against the vast West Texas sky; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Since 1959, the McCamey Chamber of Commerce has |
|
contributed greatly to the friendly business environment of McCamey |
|
and Upton County, and its members may take great pride in their |
|
achievements over the years; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the McCamey Chamber of Commerce on |
|
its 50th anniversary and extend to its members sincere best wishes |
|
for the future; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the McCamey Chamber of Commerce as an expression of |
|
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
