	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, The Jasper-Lake Sam Rayburn Area Chamber of Commerce
	is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding in 2019; and
	WHEREAS, Under its first president, turpentine manufacturer
	L. M. Autrey, the chamber established its commitment to promoting
	local businesses, tourism, and economic development; today, the
	organization continues to advocate for the "Jewel of the Forest,"
	as the city has been nicknamed, and it sparks the interest of
	prospective residents and businesses alike by focusing on the
	area's low cost of living, high quality of life, and great natural
	beauty; and
	WHEREAS, The chamber has also contributed to the vibrancy of
	the community through its sponsorship of numerous activities and
	events; its Azalea Festival and Fall Butterfly Festival have grown
	over the course of many decades, becoming regional attractions; in
	more recent years, the Dam2Dam Bike Ride has drawn cyclists from
	across the state, and kayaking was added for the 15th annual race in
	2018; moreover, the organization's signature event is the
	Chairman's Banquet that takes place every January; and
	WHEREAS, Over the past century, the Jasper-Lake Sam Rayburn
	Area Chamber of Commerce has played an integral role in the growth
	and prosperity of the community, and the group is truly deserving of
	special recognition as it marks this momentous milestone in its
	history; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of the
	Jasper-Lake Sam Rayburn Area Chamber of Commerce and extend to the
	members of this noteworthy organization sincere best wishes for
	continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the chamber as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
