	H.R. No. 623



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The GO TEXAN Certified Retirement Community program
	is highlighting the outstanding qualities that Texas towns and
	cities offer discerning retirees; and
	WHEREAS, Retired Americans make significant social and
	economic contributions to the communities in which they reside;
	retirees possess a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as a
	willingness to volunteer, and they also generate a positive
	economic impact that is equal to 3.7 manufacturing jobs; and
	WHEREAS, Marketing the appeal of Texas as a retirement
	destination benefits all Texans, but in order to succeed, such
	efforts need to highlight the ways in which communities support the
	type of healthy and active lifestyles that are important to today's
	retirees; and
	WHEREAS, To achieve that goal, the Texas Department of
	Agriculture has developed the GO TEXAN Certified Retirement
	Community program; the GO TEXAN seal of approval ensures that each
	certified location has demonstrated an ability to meet the living,
	employment, volunteer, health, entertainment, education, and
	safety needs of its citizens; and
	WHEREAS, With participating towns located in all regions of
	the Lone Star State, the GO TEXAN program is helping to convince
	individuals from across the nation to consider calling Texas home;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize April 20, 2011, as "Retire in Texas
	Day" and commend the GO TEXAN Certified Retirement Community
	program and its participants for promoting the unique and diverse
	communities of Texas.

	Christian
