|
||
WHEREAS, For the Love of the Lake is a volunteer organization | ||
dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of White Rock Lake | ||
Park in Dallas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Formed in 1995, this group of civic-minded | ||
volunteers celebrated a notable milestone on November 10, 2012, | ||
when it marked its 200th consecutive Second Saturday Shoreline | ||
Spruce-Up, and it started off this year with a January 12th event, | ||
"Trees Please--Reforestation for the Next Generation," which | ||
brought out more than 400 people to plant trees; and | ||
WHEREAS, The organization has raised over $1 million for | ||
features and amenities around the park, including a new playground, | ||
outdoor fitness circuits, information kiosks, benches, native | ||
plant gardens, trash and recycling receptacles, and drinking | ||
fountains; moreover, members helped create the White Rock Lake | ||
Museum and oversaw the placement of two Texas Historical Markers; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Participants in For the Love of the Lake have | ||
rendered exceptional service that greatly benefits Dallas | ||
residents, and they indeed merit special recognition for helping to | ||
ensure that the White Rock Lake Park will remain a treasured urban | ||
oasis for years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend For the Love of the Lake on its work to | ||
preserve and enhance White Rock Lake Park in Dallas; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard and best | ||
wishes by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
