WHEREAS, Members of the Cleburne Chamber of Commerce and the |
|
Cleburne Tuesday Forum are visiting the State Capitol on March 5, |
|
2013, and this occasion provides a welcome opportunity to pay |
|
tribute to these two notable public-spirited organizations; and |
|
WHEREAS, After a preliminary meeting held on December 20, |
|
1918, the Cleburne Chamber of Commerce charter was approved on |
|
February 17 of the following year; on March 21, at the |
|
organization's first regular meeting, 84 chamber members pledged to |
|
give back to the city in which they worked and raised their |
|
families; during the ensuing decades, the chamber has focused on |
|
the areas of industry and agriculture, emphasized the importance of |
|
planning and community development, and worked closely with the |
|
North Texas Tollway Authority and the Texas Department of |
|
Transportation on the Chisholm Trail Parkway project to ensure |
|
positive growth for Cleburne and surrounding areas; currently, the |
|
organization has more than 950 members and receives over 9,300 |
|
visitors and 12,000 phone calls per year; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Cleburne Tuesday Forum is a nonprofit |
|
association that provides a platform for public discussion of |
|
issues that affect Johnson County; in existence for 40 years, the |
|
forum is made up of business and professional men and women who meet |
|
once a month to share information and exchange points of view; and |
|
WHEREAS, The vision and leadership provided by the Cleburne |
|
Chamber of Commerce and the Cleburne Tuesday Forum have played an |
|
important role in the growth and vitality of their community, and |
|
the groups' efforts to foster a better informed and more engaged |
|
citizenry are indeed worthy of recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby honor the Cleburne Chamber of Commerce and the |
|
Cleburne Tuesday Forum for their admirable work in behalf of area |
|
residents and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best wishes |
|
for a productive and memorable stay in Austin; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared |
|
for the organizations as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
