H.R. No. 1222 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Proud members of the Texas Masonry Council are | ||
celebrating the council's 60th anniversary in 2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, The craft of working with stone and brick is one of | ||
the fundamental building techniques of civilization, dating back | ||
6,000 years; some of the most famous structures in history are | ||
examples of the strength and beauty of masonry, including the | ||
Egyptian Pyramids, the Colosseum in Rome, Hadrian's Wall in | ||
Northern England, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Great Wall of | ||
China; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Texas Masonry Council began in 1959 when a group | ||
of independent masonry businesses established the Associated | ||
Masonry Contractors of Houston; after the group expanded beyond the | ||
Houston area, it was renamed the Associated Masonry Contractors of | ||
Texas in 1964; and | ||
WHEREAS, Now known as the Texas Masonry Council, the TMC | ||
seeks to study and promote better methods of masonry construction, | ||
to advocate on behalf of the industry, to disseminate valuable | ||
technical and business information, and to encourage greater | ||
cooperation and friendship between its members; and | ||
WHEREAS, For six decades, the Texas Masonry Council has been | ||
a champion for its industry and a source of fellowship and mutual | ||
support for its members, and it is truly deserving of special | ||
recognition at this significant moment in its history; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Texas | ||
Masonry Council and extend to its members sincere best wishes for | ||
the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the council as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
Romero, Jr. | ||
