WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to |
|
|
join the members of the Rolling Plains Communities Partnership and |
|
|
citizens across the Lone Star State in celebrating February 22, |
|
|
2011, as Rolling Plains Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The scenic Rolling Plains of North Central Texas is |
|
|
an area of approximately 28 million acres, much of which is covered |
|
|
with juniper woodlands and prairie midgrasses; the rugged Caprock |
|
|
Escarpment separates the Rolling Plains from the High Plains; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Four Texas rivers run through the soft prairie sands |
|
|
and clay soil of the region; the Canadian River, the Colorado River, |
|
|
the Concho River, and the Red River offer scenic beauty and many |
|
|
recreational opportunities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Rolling Plains Communities Partnership |
|
|
encourages rural counties to pool their resources in order to |
|
|
promote economic and community development in the area; the |
|
|
counties of Wheeler, Donley, Collingsworth, Briscoe, Hall, |
|
|
Childress, Motley, Cottle, Foard, and Hardeman have all benefited |
|
|
from the partnership's work; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The leadership and services provided by the Rolling |
|
|
Plains Communities Partnership have assisted numerous Texans, and |
|
|
this outstanding organization is truly deserving of recognition; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend the citizens of the Rolling Plains for |
|
|
their many contributions to our state and welcome the delegation of |
|
|
the Rolling Plains Communities Partnership to Austin for Rolling |
|
|
Plains Day at the State Capitol; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
