SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 168
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
welcome to Austin the members of the Abilene delegation on the |
|
occasion of Abilene Day at the Capitol, which is being celebrated |
|
February 13, 2019; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Abilene has been one of the foremost commercial, |
|
agricultural, and educational centers in West Texas since its |
|
founding in the late 19th century; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through the years, the Abilene Chamber of |
|
Commerce has played a vital role in making Abilene the inviting |
|
place in which to live and work that it is today; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In its early days, the chamber was instrumental in |
|
such civic improvements as the development of adequate water |
|
supplies; later, efforts by the chamber led to the construction |
|
of a new Taylor County Courthouse and a modern airport terminal; |
|
the chamber and city officials were largely responsible for the |
|
establishment of Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The people of Abilene are justifiably proud of |
|
their city for its countless contributions to the growth and |
|
prosperity of our state, and it is truly fitting that a day be set |
|
aside to celebrate Abilene's many assets; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
Legislature, hereby extend best wishes to the Abilene delegation |
|
for a memorable Abilene Day at the Capitol; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
honor of this special occasion. |
