WHEREAS, Members of the Westlake Chamber of Commerce are |
|
|
visiting the State Capitol on April 30, 2025; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Serving West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, and Austin, |
|
|
the Westlake Chamber of Commerce was first organized on June 29, |
|
|
1995, by members of the Eanes Business and Professional Association |
|
|
who were seeking to cultivate a sense of community and to help area |
|
|
businesses address issues of safety, crime, and economic growth; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The chamber started out as a group of 50 volunteers, |
|
|
but by the time it held its first fundraiser in October 1995, its |
|
|
membership had grown to 110; the organization initially devoted its |
|
|
efforts to such projects as the construction of The Village at |
|
|
Westlake Shopping Center and the widening of Bee Cave Road, and it |
|
|
also began holding monthly luncheons featuring presentations by |
|
|
community leaders; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Now in its 30th year, the Westlake Chamber of |
|
|
Commerce supports local business leaders through networking |
|
|
events, ribbon-cutting ceremonies, business builder lunches and |
|
|
breakfasts, and a leadership academy; moreover, the chamber remains |
|
|
dedicated to strengthening the wider community, organizing |
|
|
quarterly humanitarian efforts and hosting a variety of notable |
|
|
events, such as its 4th of July parade and Westlake Wonderfest; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Westlake Chamber of Commerce has played an |
|
|
important role in enhancing the area's economic vitality and |
|
|
quality of life, and all those associated with the organization may |
|
|
take pride in their contributions to the Lone Star State; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 30, 2025, as Westlake Chamber |
|
|
Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting |
|
|
delegation. |
