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 March 5, 2013, 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 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize March 5, 2013, as Rolling Plains Day |
|
at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation best |
|
wishes for a meaningful and memorable visit to Austin. |
