	WHEREAS, Nueces County Community Services held its 29th
	Annual Valentine Queen Coronation and Dance on February 14, 2017;
	and
	WHEREAS, Under the leadership of director Edward Herrera and
	assistant director Marcy Santos, this vital organization operates
	community centers in Robstown, Agua Dulce, Banquete, Bishop, and
	Driscoll; there, senior citizens can receive nutritious meals and
	health screenings and take part in a variety of educational and
	nutritional presentations and fun social activities, including
	bingo, crafts, exercise classes, and shopping trips; moreover, each
	year the agency puts on a Valentine's Day dance, where a highly
	respected woman from each of the community centers is awarded the
	title of Valentine Queen; and
	WHEREAS, The five Valentine Queens honored at the 2017 dance
	were Elena Lopez of Agua Dulce, Aurora Perez of Banquete, Bernadina
	Ramos of Robstown, Diana Briones of Driscoll, and Eva Romero of
	Bishop; accompanied by their escorts, these notable women took part
	in the grand march before being officially crowned by county
	commissioners John Marez of Precinct No. 3 and Joe A. Gonzalez of
	Precinct No. 2; following the coronation ceremony, attendees
	enjoyed a variety of refreshments and showed off their moves on the
	dance floor; and
	WHEREAS, Nueces County Community Services provides important
	opportunities for the local senior population to stay active and
	engaged and to meet new people, and it is indeed deserving of
	special recognition for its contributions to the quality of life
	for area citizens; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby commemorate the 29th Annual Valentine Queen
	Coronation and Dance hosted by Nueces County Community Services and
	extend to all those associated with the organization sincere best
	wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Nueces County Community Services as an expression of
	high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
