R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Retired Teachers Association
  are gathering on March 26, 2025, to participate in Texas Retired
  Teachers Day at the State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Made up of nearly 100,000 members, TRTA serves as a
  resource and advocate for retired school personnel throughout Texas
  and works diligently in behalf of current and future public
  education retirees; through its support of a strong teacher
  retirement system, the association promotes the financial
  soundness of the pension and health care programs serving former
  educators; in turn, the more than $13.45 billion in annuity
  payments to retirees have contributed to increased economic
  activity and the creation of nearly 250,000 jobs in Texas; and
         WHEREAS, The association is also devoted to benefiting
  communities across the state through volunteer initiatives, and
  each year, TRTA members perform more than six million hours of
  service, equivalent to a value of over $200 million; many of these
  endeavors are focused on schools, and members have further
  encouraged reading and literacy among young Texans through their
  contribution of more than 1.7 million books to the Children's Book
  Project, including over 210,000 in the last year; and
         WHEREAS, Deeply committed to supporting education and
  educators, the Texas Retired Teachers Association has made a
  positive and lasting difference in the Lone Star State, and the
  members of this noteworthy organization are indeed deserving of
  recognition for their efforts; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize March 26, 2025, as Texas Retired
  Teachers Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the
  visiting delegation; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the association as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
