WHEREAS, Members of the Wholesale Beer Distributors of Texas | ||
are gathering in Austin on February 21, 2023, to celebrate | ||
Wholesale Beer Distributors of Texas Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Formed in 1939, the association held its first | ||
meeting in Galveston one year later; members appreciated that they | ||
shared many mutual concerns, and they committed to working together | ||
for the benefit of the industry as a whole; and | ||
WHEREAS, Membership in WBDT today includes the majority of | ||
the state's family-owned licensed beer distributorships; the | ||
organization advocates for businesses and also focuses on consumer | ||
protection, product integrity, and the availability of choices in | ||
the marketplace; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since the early days of the association, members | ||
have encouraged each other to engage in civic life for the | ||
betterment of their communities; notable activities have ranged | ||
from establishing one of the state's first anti-litter programs to | ||
sponsoring Little League teams, supporting the arts, and promoting | ||
local chambers of commerce; in recent years, WBDT members have | ||
joined the state's campaign to prevent human trafficking, training | ||
employees in ways to identify and report suspected instances of the | ||
crime; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Wholesale Beer Distributors of Texas has | ||
diligently served its members for well over eight decades, and its | ||
efforts have allowed these companies to make an even greater | ||
contribution to the continued prosperity of the Lone Star State; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize February 21, 2023, as Wholesale Beer | ||
Distributors of Texas Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm | ||
welcome to the visiting members of the association. | ||
