|
efficient homes have been built for elderly or disabled residents, |
|
and the city has strengthened its law enforcement efforts and |
|
reduced crime; and |
|
WHEREAS, El Cenizo has distinguished itself as a community of |
|
concerned and committed people, and the citizens' hard work, |
|
solidarity, and dedication to positive growth and development are |
|
indeed deserving of commendation on this special day; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
