WHEREAS, The City of Bellaire and the directors of Evelyn's | ||
Park Conservancy are hosting the dedication of Evelyn's Park on | ||
June 25, 2011; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2009, the Jerry and Maury Rubenstein Foundation | ||
acquired the historic site of Bellaire's first business, Teas | ||
Nursery Company, and donated it for use as parkland; the nursery was | ||
established in 1843 by nationally prominent horticulturist John C. | ||
Teas, and his son, Edward Teas, landscaped many of Houston's most | ||
beautiful neighborhoods; by 1951, Teas Nursery had planted more | ||
than a million trees in the Houston area; and | ||
WHEREAS, The park is named in honor of the late mother of | ||
Jerry and Maury Rubenstein, Evelyn Rubenstein, who emphasized the | ||
importance of giving back to the community; continuing her | ||
tradition of service, the Rubenstein Foundation adopted the vision | ||
of creating a vibrant urban park and engaging the public in | ||
determining design and development; Evelyn's Park Conservancy is a | ||
nonprofit corporation formed to enhance the health, safety, and | ||
well-being of citizens of Bellaire and surrounding communities | ||
through the establishment of the park and the programs it will | ||
offer; and | ||
WHEREAS, Evelyn's Park will contribute greatly to the quality | ||
of life in Bellaire, providing a lovely space where residents can | ||
gather and enjoy nature in a historic wooded setting for years to | ||
come; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commemorate the dedication | ||
of Evelyn's Park and honor all those associated with its | ||
development for their contributions; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Evelyn's Park Conservancy as an expression of high | ||
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
