SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 28
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize members of the Texas Midwest Community Network and to |
|
|
join them in celebrating Texas Midwest Community Network Day at |
|
|
the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Midwest Community Network traces its |
|
|
roots to a meeting held in Abilene in July of 1993, when a group |
|
|
of regional leaders met to address issues relating to surrounding |
|
|
rural communities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The network attained nonprofit status in 1994 and |
|
|
began with an initial membership of 28 participating |
|
|
communities; Rick Rhodes served as founding president, and |
|
|
founding member and former executive director Nicki Harle helped |
|
|
the organization build lasting foundations for the future; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, the organization serves as a unified voice |
|
|
for 51 communities in 31 contiguous counties, and it continues to |
|
|
thrive with the belief that the entire region benefits when just |
|
|
one community in the network succeeds; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Midwest Community Network has helped |
|
|
dozens of Texas communities maximize their natural and human |
|
|
resources, and its members are marking 25 years of success this |
|
|
year and celebrating with a day of special recognition at the |
|
|
Texas Capitol; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Texas Midwest |
|
|
Community Network for promoting the well-being of rural |
|
|
communities in the state and extend to all best wishes for a |
|
|
rewarding Texas Midwest Community Network Day at the Capitol; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in honor |
|
|
of the network and as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
