| H.R. No. 482 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Legendary musician Ramon Ayala has demonstrated | ||
| great generosity and civic spirit by presenting an annual Christmas | ||
| Posada in Hidalgo for more than a decade; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A superstar with thousands of devoted fans and | ||
| numerous Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards to his credit, Mr. Ayala has | ||
| dedicated himself to helping his fellow residents celebrate the | ||
| holidays by staging the posada in conjunction with the Hermes Music | ||
| Foundation and the City of Hidalgo; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Ramon Ayala Christmas Posada was first presented | ||
| in 2000, and the event is highlighted by a toy giveaway in which | ||
| children line up at the musician's house to receive a ticket for a | ||
| free gift; the presents delight some 10,000 youngsters each year | ||
| and are an especially treasured holiday tradition for those from | ||
| disadvantaged backgrounds; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The posada also includes a mass and a nativity | ||
| reenactment, and the day comes to an exciting close when the man | ||
| known as El Rey del Accordeon--the King of the Accordion--joins | ||
| with other performers to present a free concert; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Though he has brought enjoyment to countless music | ||
| fans over the course of his career, Ramon Ayala is equally devoted | ||
| to bringing the joy of the holiday season to all members of his | ||
| community, and his efforts are indeed deserving of recognition; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby honor Ramon Ayala for his role in presenting the | ||
| annual Ramon Ayala Christmas Posada in Hidalgo and extend to him | ||
| sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Ayala as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
