SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 532

WHEREAS, Residents of the Cedar Creek Lake area of Henderson County are gathering in Austin on March 14, 2011, to celebrate Cedar Creek Lake Day at the Capitol; and

WHEREAS, More than 75,000 Texans reside near Cedar Creek Lake, which encompasses 38,000 acres and features 328 miles of picturesque shoreline; local residents and tourists take advantage of the state's largest residential lake and its shoreline by engaging in a wide range of outdoor activities, including boating, fishing, swimming, camping, and golfing; and

WHEREAS, With a healthy blend of residential and business interests, the region has much to offer citizens of 13 growing communities, such as Kemp, Gun Barrel City, Eustace, Mabank, Seven Points, and Tool; and

WHEREAS, While area towns are proud of their individual identities, they share the values and ideals of a caring, close-knit community; and

WHEREAS, Cedar Creek Lake is one of our state's true treasures, and residents justifiably take great pride in the beauty of the lake and the character of the surrounding area; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd Legislature, hereby recognize March 14, 2011, as Cedar Creek Lake Day at the State Capitol and extend to the delegation here today sincere best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable visit; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in honor of this occasion.
