SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 455
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the certified retirement communities in Texas, which |
|
play an important role in attracting retirees to desirable |
|
retirement locations within the Lone Star State; and |
|
WHEREAS, Marketing the appeal of Texas as a retirement |
|
destination benefits all Texans; retirees contribute socially |
|
and economically to the state in which they retire by bringing |
|
volunteerism, experience, and a wealth of knowledge to their |
|
communities and generating a substantial positive economic |
|
impact; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Department of Agriculture administers |
|
the GO TEXAN Certified Retirement Community program to assist |
|
Texas communities in encouraging retirees to make their home in a |
|
Texas certified retirement community; and |
|
WHEREAS, Today's younger and more active retirees seek |
|
communities that can fit their lifestyle; the GO TEXAN stamp of |
|
approval ensures that each certified community has demonstrated |
|
an ability to meet the living, employment, volunteer, health, |
|
entertainment, education, and safety needs of citizens; and |
|
WHEREAS, The GO TEXAN Certified Retirement Community |
|
program and its participants are truly worthy of recognition for |
|
their efforts in promoting Texas as a desirable retirement |
|
destination; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the communities that have earned the |
|
title of GO TEXAN Certified Retirement Community and recognize |
|
April 20, 2011, as "Retire in Texas Day"; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the certified retirement communities as an expression of high |
|
regard from the Texas Senate. |
