WHEREAS, The grand reopening of the Juanchido Elder Center in |
|
|
El Paso in 2025 provides a fitting opportunity to recognize the |
|
|
revitalized Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Tribal Elders Program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Juanchido Elder Center has long served to honor |
|
|
and uplift the seniors of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, a federally |
|
|
recognized Native American tribe in the El Paso area; open to tribal |
|
|
elders and their spouses age 55 and older, the center seeks to |
|
|
combat isolation, promote social connection, and preserve YDSP |
|
|
language and culture through a wide range of services and |
|
|
activities, including wellness and health education programming, |
|
|
social outings, traditional arts and crafts, and storytelling; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Juanchido Elder Center has demonstrated a |
|
|
steadfast commitment to empowering YDSP elders to lead active, |
|
|
independent, and engaged lives, and the organization is indeed |
|
|
deserving of recognition on this special occasion in its history; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the grand reopening of the Juanchido |
|
|
Elder Center and extend to all those associated with the Ysleta del |
|
|
Sur Pueblo Tribal Elders Program sincere best wishes for the |
|
|
future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Juanchido Elder Center as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
