WHEREAS, Texas Electric Cooperatives and its member |
|
|
organizations are celebrating 50 years of sending young adults to |
|
|
Washington, D.C., as part of the Government-in-Action Youth Tour; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These outstanding students, selected by the member |
|
|
cooperatives, spend a week touring national historic sites, |
|
|
discovering Washington's diverse cultural heritage, meeting |
|
|
U.S. congressional representatives, and learning about electric |
|
|
cooperatives and the energy industry; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1965, 58 young men and women became the first |
|
|
Texas Electric Cooperatives group to travel to Washington, where |
|
|
they joined their peers from other states on the Youth Tour; since |
|
|
then, a total of 3,719 Texans have completed the |
|
|
Government-in-Action Youth Tour; the 125 teens making the trip this |
|
|
year will start with a day in Austin to gain a deeper understanding |
|
|
of Texas history and government; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Each year, participants in the Government-in-Action |
|
|
Youth Tour enjoy cultural and educational experiences that make the |
|
|
week truly transformational, and Texas Electric Cooperatives and |
|
|
its members are indeed deserving of recognition for providing this |
|
|
remarkable opportunity to the future leaders of the Lone Star |
|
|
State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Texas Electric Cooperatives for its 50 |
|
|
years of participation in the Government-in-Action Youth Tour and |
|
|
extend to the member cooperatives and all those taking part in the |
|
|
tour sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Texas Electric Cooperatives as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
