||
WHEREAS, Members of the Cleburne Chamber of Commerce and the | ||
Cleburne Tuesday Forum are visiting the State Capitol on March 1, | ||
2011, and this occasion provides a welcome opportunity to pay | ||
tribute to these two notable public-spirited organizations; and | ||
WHEREAS, After a preliminary meeting held on December 20, | ||
1918, the Cleburne Chamber of Commerce charter was approved on | ||
February 17 of the following year; at the organization's first | ||
regular meeting, which took place on March 21, 84 chamber members | ||
pledged to give back to the city in which they worked and raised | ||
their families; during the ensuing decades, the chamber has focused | ||
on the areas of industry and agriculture and has advocated for | ||
better roads for county residents as well as emphasizing the | ||
importance of planning and community development; currently, the | ||
organization has more than 950 members and receives more than 8,500 | ||
visitors and 12,000 phone calls per year; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Cleburne Tuesday Forum is a nonprofit | ||
association that provides a platform for public discussion of | ||
issues that affect Johnson County; in existence for 40 years, the | ||
forum is made up of business and professional men and women who meet | ||
once a month to share information and exchange points of view; and | ||
WHEREAS, The vision and leadership provided by the Cleburne | ||
Chamber of Commerce and the Cleburne Tuesday Forum have played an | ||
important role in the growth and vitality of their community, and | ||
the groups' efforts to foster a better informed and more engaged | ||
citizenry are indeed worthy of recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor the Cleburne Chamber of Commerce and the | ||
Cleburne Tuesday Forum for their admirable work in behalf of area | ||
residents and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best wishes | ||
for a productive and memorable stay in Austin; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared | ||
for the organizations as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
