A RESOLUTION

Honoring the Village of Batavia on its Two Hundredth Anniversary.

       WHEREAS,  The members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to the Village of Batavia on its Bicentennial; and

       WHEREAS,  This is, indeed, an auspicious milestone, and celebration is certainly in order. Since its inception two hundred years ago, the Village of Batavia has experienced dramatic growth and change, and yet, commendably, even as its residents have exuberantly embraced the promise of a bright future, they have never relinquished their appreciation for the worthiest virtues of the past. Without sacrificing their sense of tradition in the name of progress, the people of Batavia have managed to nurture a fresh perspective and a positive outlook that endear this distinctive place to all who know it well; and 

       WHEREAS,  Two centuries after it was founded, Batavia still radiates vitality, optimism, and a charm all its own. The village is a place of many engaging qualities, and its schools, businesses, factories, and civic organizations both embody and thrive upon the values of which our flag is an emblem; and

       WHEREAS,  Every state depends upon such vibrant, durable communities as Batavia for its own survival and stability. Although it has known adversity and tribulation, it also has been favored with its share of blessings. Under the guidance of its current administration, distinguished by impeccable integrity, sound judgment, and an expansive, purposeful vision, the village is sure to remain on its admirable course and to continue to transform challenges into opportunities; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, extend special recognition to the Village of Batavia as it commemorates its Two Hundredth Anniversary and offer our best wishes for its perennial good fortune; and be it further

       RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Village of Batavia.
